Armenian people will not allow return of liberated territories to Azerbaijan and deployment of foreign armed forces in Artsakh, according to Sardarapat movement initiative group members.

As Hayk Balanyan and Emil Abrahamyan told a press conference in Yerevan, “this is the decision of hundreds of thousands people in Artsakh, frontier regions of Armenia, as well as those participating in liberation war.”

“The people will not accept another Treaty of Kars,” Balanyan said, adding that Sardarapat will spare no effort to prevent handover of territories and deployment of foreign troops.

Regarding the forthcoming meeting in Kazan, Balanyan believes that no certain agreement will be signed by the Armenian, Azerbaijani and Russian Presidents. However, there may be a declaration like Maindorf one, according to him. Balanyan also said that currently Armenia is under strong external pressure. Nevertheless, as he noted, “the western powers and Russia’s displeasure with radical demands set by Azerbaijan and Turkey is to Armenia’s benefit.”
