Armenian MP to devote himself to rehabilitation of Armenians forcibly  displaced from Azerbaijan in 1988- 1993

ArmInfo. Vilen Gabrielyan, a member of the National Assembly of Armenia from the ruling Civil Contract faction, who on April 1 announced his resignation, stated in his post  that from now on he will be fully engaged in organizing the work of  the Pan-Armenian Union Gardman Shirvan Nakhijevan.

During this time, we have done a lot of work related to the  activities of the Union, bringing our voice to various international  platforms, but at the same time I must state that the status of a  deputy helped to some extent in this matter, but from the point of  view of fulfilling other duties of a deputy, it did not always give  me the opportunity to fully engage in the full-fledged work of the  Union.

Accordingly, I publicly declare that from now on I will fully engage  in the organization of the work of the Union, which will imply the  completion of the structural formation of the apparatus, territorial  divisions and foreign branches of the Pan-Armenian Union  .

Our goals will be to achieve: - Adoption of a clear state policy  regarding the demands and rights of persons forcibly displaced from  Azerbaijan in 1988-1992, - Strengthening ties with the international  community, - Restoration by Azerbaijan of all rights of more than  500,000 Armenian refugees from the territory of Azerbaijan in  1988-1992, including the right to return.

In this critical issue, we will need the support not only of those  who were forcibly displaced from Azerbaijan itself, but also of every  Armenian as a whole, regardless of whether this support is  psychological, physical, professional, scientific or financial.

We are open to cooperation with every organization and individual  defending the rights of refugees, which has been our goal from the  very beginning - to serve as a single platform for broad  consolidation.

Be vigilant, cool-headed, balanced, strong and steadfast>, Gabrielyan  wrote.

In Gyumri, Vilen Gabrielyan, while intoxicated, insulted a  journalist, and the next day published a post on Facebook with an  apology and an announcement of his resignation from the parliamentary  mandate.
