Javakhk Diaspora of Russia urges both sides to start negotiations
The Javakhk Diaspora of Russia NGO has issued a statement in connection with the situation in Armenia created in the aftermath of an attack on a police patrol building by an armed group calling itself Sasna Dzrer (Daredevils of Sasun). “For a week now, the attention of the entire nation has been fixed on the events taking place in Armenia. We call on the authorities in Armenia as well as Sasna Dzrer to start negotiations as soon as possible to avoid new tensions and bloodshed. We respect and bow our heads before Pavlik [Manukyan] and his friends as they once fought for us. Today, the country is divided into two parts. Our greatest achievement is that we have patriotic, strong, proud and intelligent generation in Armenia, who defended the border of Artsakh during the four-day war in April. As Monte said in his time, “Generations should be brought up by ideas, rather than violence.” We can overcome the present situation suing our intellect, justice and vigilance. Prudence must win today. The situation should be resolved exclusively by peaceful means. We do not have enemies standing against each other; we are all Armenians. Theerfore, we demand, urge and request the authorities to find a solution [to the crisis] without violence and loss of life, with concessions that will not harm our statehood,” the NGO said in the statement.
