Kristine Vardanyan: It is impossible to carry out delimitation based on correct principles when there are prisoners held in Baku

 
The march, with the demand to stop the delimitation process, continues. Yesterday, the marchers, led by the Primate of the Tavush Diocese, Bagrat Srbazan, moved from Solak village in the Kotayk region to the town of Charentsavan.

The Alpha News team covered the march on the spot and talked with citizens about the goals of their struggle.

Kristine Vardanyan, a member of the Hayastan parliamentary faction and the ARF-D Central Board, noted that the movement will arrive in Yerevan on May 9 to voice its questions.

“Tavush for the Homeland movement will arrive in Yerevan to ask questions, voice their demands, and get answers to them. An unlawful process of surrendering the country is now taking place, and that needs to be stopped. Now in the country, there is a force that says that it decides where the homeland begins and where it ends. But now another force has formed to oppose this, to say that it is not you but the people who will decide,” Vardanyan noted.

She emphasized that the movement offers an alternative not to satisfy unilateral concessions to Azerbaijan.

“We propose not to satisfy unilateral concessions to Azerbaijan, not to declare that villages under Armenian control are Azerbaijani. We propose to first resolve the issue of prisoners held in Baku and not remove the issue of the return of Armenians to Artsakh from the agenda. An alternative approach begins with a refusal to do what the current authorities have done,” Vardanyan said.
