Instead of peace, Azerbaijan seeking Armenia`s subjugation - ARF  youth movement 

ArmInfo.  The ARF Dashnaktsutyun (ARF) youth movement held a protest outside the Armenian government building in response to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's recent statements made during a meeting dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences.  Specifically, the Azerbaijani president reiterated the "return of  Azerbaijanis to present-day Armenia" and claimed ownership of  Armenia's sovereign and historical territories.

During the protest, a member of the youth movement emphasized that  the peace agreement reached in Washington is actually a clear example  of capitulation. He noted that Azerbaijan's true goals have always  been clear: instead of peace, they aim to subordinate Armenia to  Azerbaijani interests; instead of mutual respect, they seek conquest;  and instead of abandoning aggressive rhetoric, they promote agendas  that align with its own interests.

To support their claims, ARF representatives recalled that Azerbaijan  still does not recognize Armenia's borders, but instead promotes the  concept of a so-called "Western Azerbaijan." Azerbaijani troops  remain on Armenia's sovereign territory, and Armenian prisoners of  war are being held in Baku. The protesters expressed their belief  that Azerbaijan seeks only to limit Armenia's sovereignty.

The protesters brought posters displaying statements by members of  the ruling Civil Contract Party, demonstrating how their words  support Azerbaijan's interests. They then presented their own  versions of statements that could promote Armenian narratives and  protect the country's interests. Thus, representatives of the ARF  youth wing essentially demonstrated that the current government's  inability to protect the country's interests is not due to ignorance  or inability, but to a conscious choice. In this regard, the  protesters noted that  the only solution to the current situation is  the resignation of the current government.
