ArmInfo. The Anti-Nazi Front of Armenia has sent an open letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The letter highlights that the participants of the movement support the normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as outlined in the statement of November 9, 2020, and other agreements reached between the leaders of the three countries with Russia's mediation. In this vein, the coordinators of the movement have expressed the opinion that NATO's presence in any part of the post-Soviet area leads to negative consequences, posing a threat to the security and stability of the region.
"It is from this perspective that we view the processes taking place in the South Caucasus, specifically focusing on the resolution of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict," the statement says.
The letter further notes that Russia has been actively involved in resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict for many years. It mentions that following the 44-day war in Artsakh in 2020, efforts continued through the trilateral statement issued by the leaders of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan on November 9, 2020, along with other subsequent agreements.
"It is an obvious reality that the collective West, along with the hidden and coordinated participation of the authorities of Armenia and Azerbaijan, are actively working to prevent the implementation of agreements reached with Russian mediation. It is also evident that the authorities of both Armenia and Azerbaijan are not only failing to contribute to the establishment of stability and security in the South Caucasus with Russian involvement, but have also become instruments of the United States and its allies in destabilizing the region," the statement reads.
At the same time, the Anti-Nazi Front of Armenia highlighted the recent interview of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, in which he referred to the independent Armenian state as "fascist". The Movement called it strange that Armenia is labeled as a "fascist state" by the leader of a country, where no political or criminal-legal assessment was given to the mass massacres of Armenians and racially motivated murders in the cities of Sumgait, Baku and Kirovabad in 1988-1990. The Movement explained in its statement that it cited the aforementioned facts because it deems any displays of ethnic hatred and Nazi ideology in the post-Soviet area, especially at the governmental level, as unacceptable and abhorrent. "We are confident that only Russia's mediation mission, under your leadership, will enable us to reach a stable and mutually beneficial resolution of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations. This will be for the benefit of the peaceful and secure future of our nations and peoples," the coordinators of the Anti-Nazi Front of Armenia concluded.
