As part of Azerbaijan Artsakh will have one future – genocide - Artsakh Foreign Minister
YEREVAN, April 14. /ARKA/. As part of Azerbaijan Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) will have one future - genocide, Artsakh Foreign Minister David Babayan said on Thursday in a comment on Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan’s remarks that ' the international community urges Armenia to lower the bar on the status of Nagorno-Karabakh, otherwise it will not be able to help the Armenian side".
"We are, without exaggeration, at the most difficult stage of our history. We have gone through many difficulties and losses over the years and centuries, but now we face the question of the future of our statehood and people. And we must understand it well. Not only the fate of Artsakh is being decided but also the fate of the Armenian statehood and people. We must always have a sense of that responsibility," Babayan told an emergency session of the Nagorno-Karabakh parliament.
"We have no bars, what we have are red lines. And crossing these red lines will simply lead to disaster. Because as part of Azerbaijan, Artsakh will have one future - genocide. We will lose our homeland. After the loss of Artsakh, the existence of Armenia will be predetermined. There will be no Republic of Armenia, it will be a matter of time," Babayan argued.
Babayan added that no one is against peace, but it must be understood that there is no ideal peace in the classical sense. "Peace is a balance. This balance must be kept. It is through balance that stability can be maintained. Such possibilities do exist," he said.
"We need to unite, to work properly, to refrain from speculations if possible, because this moment is very important. And if we work properly, we will reach our goal. And our goal is one - to save Artsakh, to save our country. We have all the opportunities. We simply do not have the right to consider ourselves simply losers, because we will be cursed by everyone and by God," Babayan said.
In a statement adopted by the Karabakh parliament, MPs demand that the Armenian authorities give up their current disastrous position, saying that no authority has the right to lower the bargaining level on the status unacceptable for Artsakh as well as the internationally recognized right of self-determination under the pretext of establishing peace. -0-
