The peaceful settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict is the job
of diplomats, but if it is necessary to defend Nagornyy Karabakh with
weapons in our hands, the Yerkrapa Union of Volunteers will do so
without any hesitation, Lt-Gen Manvel Grigoryan, chairman of Yerkrapa
and Armenian deputy defence minister, said in his address to the 6th
congress of the union in Yerevan.
Grigoryan said that they never leave any task unfinished. He also said
that social-economic problems should not cause a split in the
union. "The Yerkrapa Union of Volunteers must not split to please its
internal and external enemies," Grigoryan said.
Armenian President Robert Kocharyan congratulated the participants in
the congress. In his congratulatory letter which was read out by the
Armenian deputy defence minister and the chief of the general staff of
the armed forces, Mikael Arutyunyan, the president wished them
effective work and "the green light". The defence minister of the
Nagornyy Karabakh republic, Lt-Gen Seyran Oganyan, a representative of
the Armenian Revolutionary Federation - Dashnaktsutyun, Levon
Lazarian, a representative of the Orinats Yerkir [Law-Governed
Country] Party, Mger Shakhgeldyan, the leader of the Union of
Constitutional Law, Grant Khachatryan, and representatives of other
