Artsakh Public Council urges people of Artsakh to unite and appeals  to Mother Armenia and  Diaspora for solidarity

ArmInfo. The Artsakh Public Council calls on the people of Artsakh to unite and appeals to Mother Armenia and the Diaspora for solidarity.

The statement emphasizes that the new composition of the Artsakh  Public Council was formed under unusual circumstances, at a time of  obvious internal and external challenges. However, it was established  in the interests of the unity of the people forcibly displaced from  Artsakh and the importance of raising various issues, as well as in  support of the activities of state structures in exile. "In the  current political, moral, and psychological climate, where our rights  and identity are at stake, where the oblivion of values is imposed,  and propaganda aimed at erasing historical memory is relentlessly  intensified, resistance naturally becomes inevitable. Based on this  starting point, the Artsakh Public Council calls on the Armenians of  Artsakh to unite and appeals to Mother Armenia and the Diaspora for  solidarity," the statement emphasizes.

At the same time, it is noted that after the Artsakh issue has been  lowered to the level of irreversible borders and the loss of the  homeland, shifting attention to the level of national and moral  standards is fraught with irreversible consequences. "With a  humiliated past and a frightening present, hopes for the future are  futile. The discussion about the rights of the people of Artsakh is  by no means conflictual; it is enshrined in international principles  and norms. History and common sense suggest that success can only be  achieved through loyalty and courage. The Artsakh Public Council is  well aware of the price of peace.  The citizens of Artsakh, who have  lived through the storms and nightmares of war, cannot fail to  understand the context of current events. However, they cannot be a  source of internal discord through their very existence. No matter  how much the Karabakh movement is rejected, and no matter how the  Declaration of Independence, the founding document of the state,  contradicts current realities, the people of Artsakh are still in the  'consciousness of the world,' with their history, problems, rights,  and demands still remembered," the statement continues. The Artsakh  Public Council adds that in the absence of a full- fledged dialogue  with the Armenian government, public solidarity is becoming a  priority, opening the door to dialogue for all respected individuals  who are concerned about Artsakh and its people, with the hope and  belief that together the Armenian people can build a dignified  future.
