ANCA launches campaign to reject "reckless" Madrid principles (video) January 25, 2019 - 16:46 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian National Committee of America has launched a campaign urging Armenians to reject the "reckless" Madrid principles in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement process andsupport a real Artsakh peace. "No one wants a durable and democratic peace more than Artsakh and Armenia. That’s why Armenian Americans join with U.S. and international mediators in supporting the vital work of the OSCE Minsk Group, but also why we reject the deeply flawed and highly reckless Madrid Principles," ANCA said. "This one-sided proposal that demands upfront, strategic, and irrevocable concessions from the Artsakh in return for only vague, deferred and reversible promises regarding status from Azerbaijan. It frontloads all the risk on Artsakh and deliver every reward to Azerbaijan, the aggressor state, - setting back the cause of peace and setting the stage for continued conflict and increased regional instability. A real and lasting peace must be based on the right of free people to under a government of their own choosing." Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee of America Aram Suren Hamparian has commented on the recent developments surrounding the Karabakh peace process, calling for preparing for the worst.
