Dear fellow countrymen,
Referring to the recent statements of the Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict and their concerns, especially in Artsakh Armenia, I would like to emphasize a few main clauses that I should refer to I am indifferent messages and announcements.
1. The full recognition of the right to self-determination of Artsakh Armenia is not subject to any restraint and concessions, and the exclusive master of this issue is Artsakh Armenia. Therefore, only Artsakh’s authorities of the Republic are authorized to speak on behalf of the Artsakh’s population.
2. Artsakh’s goal of the international recognition of the Republic’s independence is our main guide, and no government can afford to deviate it. Therefore, Artsakh’s people and authorities will never and in any way accept Azerbaijan any status:
3. Not only statutory, but also demographic, return to the past cannot be. What co-habitation is it if Azerbaijan continues to feed its society with Arminianism and prepare not for peace, but for Artsakh ‘ s Of course, we are for a peaceful settlement of the conflict and are ready to make efforts in that direction, but our the people’s livelihood rights, interests and demands are not negotiable.
4. Artsakh ‘ s The territorial integrity of the Republic must be restored at least in the areas where 1991 Artsakh ‘ s Republic. Therefore, our occupied territories must be cleared and our compatriots should be able to return to their homeland.
5. As for Artsakh’s security, we will continue our efforts to strengthen the capabilities of the Defense Army, and the Russian peacekeeping army must remain in Artsakh permanently and indefinitely until the end of the conflict fair regulation and provision of additional international security guarantees.
6. Not going back to the details of the negotiation process in the past, it is just necessary to record that now the moment is much more responsible and decisive than ever. Therefore, we have no right to make mistakes, otherwise these mistakes can be fatal Artsakh’s and for Mother Armenia.
7. If any Armenian wants to support Artsakh, he must take into account the will and goals of Artsakh Armenia, otherwise, he must just not interfere.
8. All authorities are temporary, but our goals and positions must be maintained firmly and unshakable. Unity around our national values and objectives is important, and as I mentioned, order of Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict The will and goals of Artsakh should be the will and goals of every Armenian and the government in the matter of formation. Artsakh has been Armenian for millennia and will remain Armenian, and Artsakh Armenia has enough will and strategic patience to continue this struggle. Regardless of anyone’s will and opinion, I am sure Artsakh Armenia will continue its path The struggle for Artsakh ‘ s independence international recognition and protection of the Motherland.___________________________________________
A reminder of a referendum held 30 years ago (10/12/1991):
The rebirth of a sovereign state: the Republic of Artsakh
The declarative theory of statehood defines a state as a person in international law if it meets the following criteria:
1) a defined territory;
2) a permanent population;
3) a government and
4) a capacity to enter into relations with other states.
According to declarative theory, an entity’s statehood is independent of its recognition by other states, as long as the sovereignty was not gained by military force. Entities may have de facto control over a territory but lack international recognition, these may be considered by the international community to be only de facto states. They are considered de iure states only according to their own law and by states that recognise them. Somaliland is a case example.
The Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO) was created as an autonomous oblast that constituted historic and ethnic Artsakh within Azerbaijan SSR from July 7, 1923.
The process of internal disintegration within the USSR, which resulted in the end of its existence as a sovereign state. And new states emerged during the disintegration of the USSR.
In 1988, Armenians of Artsakh demanded the transfer of NKAO to Armenian SSR. The parliament of the NKAO in Azerbaijan voted to unify the region with Armenia on 20 February 1988. A legitimate deed of a Declaration of Independence.
As Azerbaijan declared its independence from the USSR and removed the powers held by the enclave’s government, the Armenian majority voted to secede from Azerbaijan and in the process proclaimed the unrecognized Republic of Artsakh.
On November 26, 1991, Resolution No. 279-XII discussed in the Azerbaijani Parliament stated that whereas the existence of Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast created in 1923 brought tensions between Azerbaijani and Armenian peoples, ran counter to national interests of Azerbaijan, created base and conditions for Armenian nationalists to destroy all ethnic, historical, political, economic and moral values and riches of Azerbaijan, the parliament thus considered the creation of the oblast to be illegitimate.
In response, the majority Armenian population of the oblast declared their independence as the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic which was supported by Armenia.
As of 2021, the central and northern part of the former NKAO is under de facto control of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh.
You can ask yourself the legitimate question if this 1991 Resolution was an illegitimate deed of Baku. The majority was Azeri based and the decision was pre-cooked so misuse of standard universal democratic rules, norms and values are in question here.
Going back to the declarative theory of statehood. Why not ask a de iure recognition of the Republic of Artsakh which still de facto exists (and present-day protected by peacekeeping forces of Russia).
NKAO declared its independence even before Azerbaijan did.
Finally someone had the courage to tell all Armenians in and outside that the there is a huge problem in Yerevan Authority and it has no proxy over Artsakh .Pashinyan was the main reason for loosing the war .
