AGAINST SURRENDER OF LIBERATED ARMENIAN TERRITORIES

Dear countrymen and friends of Armenia,

Based on 5-26-2007 statement by Azeri foreign minister, his country had reached an agreement with Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh. The Armenian side reportedly consented to the return of 7 former Azerbaijani districts (historical Artsakh). Those which were liberated by our brothers from the Turks during the bloody Artsakh war. The Armenian military contingent is planned to be replaced with international peace keepers. http://www.today.az/news/politics/41398.html

According to Azeri press reports, similar statements were made by the Minsk Group representatives in Baku.: http://www.panarmenian.net/news/eng/?nid=22444

In a statement to the people of Artsakh president Gukasian tried to assure them that Kashatagh (Lachin corridor) would not be handed back to Azerbaijan.: http://www.panarmenian.net/news/eng/?nid=22368

On June 1, 2007 the Associated Press cited the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chair of the USA Matthew Bryza: "If the St. Petersburg meeting (of Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents, scheduled on June 9, 2007) is successful, then the number of differences remaining on basic principles could be reduced to close to zero" and that the two sides have agreed on the return of districts surrounding NK that are also under ethnic Armenian control. http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/06/01/...-Azerbaijan.php

Apart from being historical lands liberated for the first time in our contemporary history, said districts form a security buffer around Artsakh. More on the strategic significance of these territories here: http://www.regnum.ru/english/679147.html.

On the unacceptability of foreign “peacekeeping” forces in/around NK here: http://www.panarmenian.net/news/eng/?nid=22472, http://en.apa.az/news.php?id=27734

In order to prevent the surrender of lands that will lead to the loss of Artsakh and a consequent loss of both Armenian statehoods, a group of Armenian activists has started a protest movement. The Online part of the protest actions comprises a statement-petition prepared by Armenian web-forums. We call upon individuals, organizations, web portals to join our protest and sign the petition here:

Don't get too hung up on the semantics. Security buffer is meant to protect Artsakh population centers by definition.

In terms of " Armenian military contingent " , the phrase sounds as vague as it has to. Let odars figure out what is being referred to here :rolleyes:
