ArmInfo.By surrendering Artsakh, Pashinyan is surrendering both Armenia and the Diaspora, degrading every Armenian, Head of the Union of Armenians of Russia (UAR) Ara Abrahamyan stated in response to Armenian Premier Armenia Nikol Pashinyan's statement at his press conference on May 22.
He stressed that leaving his people at the mercy of the Aliyev regime, which has repeatedly confirmed his adherence to the genocidal policy against the Armenians, is not only immoral, but also contrary to the Constitution of Armenia, which, as stated in its preamble - The Declaration of Independence of Armenia, based, among other things, on the "Joint Decree of the Supreme Council of the Armenian SSR and the National Council of Nagorno-Karabakh of December 1, 1989."
""Any agreement that denies the right of the people of Artsakh to self-determination is in conflict with the Basic Law of the country, which means it will not have legal force.
"By surrendering Artsakh, Pashinyan is surrendering both Armenia and the Diaspora, degrades every Armenian who respects himself, his family, his values and traditions, and is proud of the heroic history of his people. This history was written not only by great scientists, figures of culture, art and sports, but also by the blood of our brave warriors who gave their lives for the freedom and independence of Armenia and Artsakh over the past three decades," Mr Abrahamyan said. the head of the UAR said.
At the same time, he stated that what has been happening in Armenia since 2018, is aimed at forcing not only Russia, but also Armenians and everything Armenian out of the region. "Where are the Armenians today, who once made up the majority of the population of the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic within the Azerbaijan SSR? Where are the graves of our ancestors? "Where are the Armenians of Sumgayit? What security guarantees does the Prime Minister of Armenia speak about? Whose guarantees does he believe in? Where is the so-called 'peace era', which, according to the Armenian authorities, should have come after the signing of a tripartite document following the 44-day war?" asked Abrahamyan.
At the same time, Mr Abrahamyan expressed conviction that such fateful decisions for the state and people cannot be made without taking into account the will of the Armenian people.
"What is happening today is nothing more than a psychological genocide by the authorities against their own people.
The Armenian intellectuals, business elite, public figures, including those living in the Diaspora, should no longer be silent. Today, they are obliged to publicly state their position and appeal to the people in order to get them out of the protracted political lethargy. In the name of the memory of our fathers and grandfathers. For the sake of the future of our children," Mr Abrahamyan said.
