Committee for the Preservation of Artsakh responds to Armenia`s  premier 

ArmInfo.  The Committee for the Preservation of Artsakh responded to the statement of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on April 16 that "the Karabakh movement will not continue in Armenia", assessing it as another  manifestation of a policy directed against the interests of the state  and the people.

The statement of the Committee received by ArmInfo notes that such  approaches seriously threaten the security, sovereignty and state  continuity of not only Artsakh, but also the entire Republic of  Armenia.

The Committee recalled that the Karabakh movement was, in fact, a  national liberation movement aimed not only at the liberation of  Artsakh, but also at the restoration of the historical rights of the  Armenian people and the strengthening of its unity. "Thus, such  statements and political course distort the historical truth, since  the Karabakh movement is not a short-term political action, but a  process of national resistance and the realization of the right to  self-determination. Refusal of this struggle is tantamount to denying  one's own history.

They make international rights invisible, since no one has abolished  the right of the people of Artsakh to self-determination. Declaring  the page closed actually means refusing to protect this right in the  international arena. They divide the unity of the Armenian people,  since such statements draw a deep dividing line between the Armenians  of Armenia and Artsakh. Artsakh is Armenia, and by rejecting the  Karabakh movement, you reject our united pan-Armenian struggle," the  statement says.

The Committee for the Preservation of Artsakh emphasized that the  values of the Karabakh movement remain relevant and vital, regardless  of the temporary statements of the political authorities.

"We continue to defend the rights, security and dignity of the people  of Artsakh. We call on the Armenian authorities to reconsider their  position and realize that national and state interests cannot be  converted into short-term political benefits. We call on the Armenian  authorities to reconsider this dangerous position, realizing that  sacrificing national and state interests under the guise of political  flexibility is fraught with irreversible consequences for both state  security and historical responsibility," the statement of the Artsakh  Preservation Committee reads.

The Karabakh movement is a public movement in support of the demand  of the Armenian population of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region  to transfer the region from the Azerbaijan SSR to the Armenian SSR.  It originated in the late 80s of the last century and laid the  foundation for the separation of Artsakh from the Azerbaijan SSR and  the declaration of independence.
