20TH ANNIVERSARY OF ARTSAKH MOVEMENT
Yesterday the three traditional Armenian parties - Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun), Democratic Liberal Party (Ramkavar Azatakan) and Social Democrat Hnchak Party on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Artsakh Self-determination Movement issued a joint statement. Here follows the full text of the announcement:
"The Artsakh Self-determination Movement began on February 20, 1988, and Azerbaijan responded with massacres in Sumgait, Baku and Kirovabad to peaceful demonstrations. The rightful fight, at the expense of sacrifices by thousands of Armenians, resulted in a victory and today's Nagorno Karabakh Republic. But Azerbaijan continues its anti-Armenian crimes and policies.The Bureau of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, the Central Board of the Ramkavar Azatakan Party, and the Central Board of the Social Democrat Hnchak Party have resolved to mark the 20th anniversary of the Artsakh Movement jointly in the Homeland and in the Diaspora, and to jointly protest against the anti-Armenian crimes and policies, and to jointly raise the issue of the rights of Armenians before Turkey.
Twenty years after the commencement of the Artsakh Movement, we now face new challenges. The legal recognition of the factual liberation of Artsakh, the protection of Artsakh's current borders, the resettlement of the liberated territories are the priorities that all the Armenian should unite for. A secure and strong Artsakh is essential for Armenia's existence.
Another example of a pan-Armenian cooperation is the issue of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by Turkey. There are serious achievements today thanks to the joint efforts.We are calling on all Armenians:
To announce 2008 the year of the 20th anniversary of the Artsakh Movement and jointly celebrate it;
Join efforts for an international recognition of the Armenian Genocide until the Republic of Turkey recognizes it and assumes full reparation;
Announce February 28 a day symbolizing the massacres of Sumgait and Baku and inform the international community and world countries of all criminal policies carried out by current and former governments of Azerbaijan; andDo whatever possible to support the development and strengthening of the Armenia-Artsakh government".
