TOGETHER? THE CONGRESS ON 18 OF MARCH WHY
WASN'T THE SITTING HELD? | BY
TURKISH MATERIALS

The
constructions of the roof of the Armenian Genocide's museum and heat insulation
works are being realized by materials of Turkish production. DEFENSELESS
POSITION The Armenian politicians criticize our diplomacy for
its faults, omissions and even for failures very strongly. We think that those
accusations are overstated. Diplomacy is simply a technique for defending the
political position of the own country. In this case our diplomats do they work
as they can. The whole problem is that what is the Armenian political position
in the most important Karabakh issue. The position is the following: "Karabakh
has never been the part of Azerbaijan, it got independence at the same time with
the destruction of the Soviet Union, consequently we have juridical controversy
with Azerbaijan in connection with the status of that territory." So let
the diplomat defend that position. Even if Taleiran hand-in-hand with Bismarck
comes to Armenia and is appointed as the RA Minister of Foreign Affairs he won't
be able to be useful to our diplomacy. As dozens of anti-arguments can be adduced
against that position by request and what our enemies do. Let's mention some of
them: 1. Hasn't Karabakh been the part of Azerbaijan? What is then? That territory
hasn't also been the part of Armenia, Congo or Indonesia. Does it mean that it
mustn't be the part of Azerbaijan? 2. Azerbaijan has become the member of the
UNO, OSCE and CoE with its whole territory including Karabakh. 3. The principle
of territorial integrity and inviolability of European borders was signed in Helsinki
in 1975 and reaffirmed in Stambul in 1999. The President of Armenia signed the
document in the second case. 4. If we have a juridical controversy we must
go to the international court and try to affirm our truth and not carry on political
negotiations round OSCE Minsk group. The PACE last resolution means just that. Certainly
the superpowers have taken steps during last 15 years, which oppose the principle
of territorial integrity; the U.S. divided Yugoslavia and Russia did the same
with Georgia. But it seems neither the U.S. nor Russia has the same program towards
Azerbaijan. "Territorial" and "juridical" elements in
the political position weaken the position of Armenia and divert from the main
direction of our fight. The nations can gain independence if they are attacked
/ as Azerbaijan did/, they have a right of self-defense, Karabakh can't be the
part of Azerbaijan as it won't provide for the security and other rights of NK
population. Such a position can be defended and in this case everything will depend
on diplomatic skill indeed. | CONSTITUTION
