    YEREVAN

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Settlement of the Karabakh issue should be dealt
    with by diplomats, however, if necessity to protect Artsakh with arms
    appears again, Yerkrapah will do it without hesitating a minute,"
    Yerkrapah Union of Volunteer Soldiers Chairman lieutenant general
    Manvel Grigorian stated at the Union 6-th congress in Yerevan today.
    Armenian Prime Minister, member of the Yerkrapah board Andranik
    Margarian, Republic opposition party leader A. Z. Sargsian (brother
    of Armenian Prime Minister Vazgen Sargsian - the first Chairman of
    Yerkrapah, killed in 1999), chairmen of parliamentary factions,
    senior officers of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia and
    the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. "Members of Yerkrapah, who represent
    various political forces will never resort to a split of the
    organization," A. Margarian stated. In an interview with journalists
    he also stated that Nagorno Karabakh will never be part of Azerbaijan
    and no proposal, which does not secure the population of Armenia and
    NK will be accepted either by Yerkrapah or other forces. It should be
    reminded that Yerkrapah ("country guard") Union of Volunteer Soldiers
    was formed ten years ago and played a considerable role in the
    domestic affairs in Armenia. It unites representatives of various
    political forces, representing both the authorities and the
    opposition. According to one of the versions, the idea of naming the
    union this way belongs to Armenian first President L. Ter-Petrosian.
