    CCAF FRANCE: ARMENIA TURKEY DECLARATION IS UNACCEPTABLE

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The member associations of the CCAF (Co-ordination
    Council of Armenian Organizations of France) express their deep concern
    about the joint statement of the foreign affairs ministers of Armenia,
    Turkey and Switzerland, as a matter of form, rather belatedly, in
    the evening of April 22.

    "With deep reservation and skepticism, we notice the extreme eagerness,
    which governed the drafting of this statement, and its lack of
    transparency. The vague nature of the so-called 'base agreement'
    and the constant pressure put on the Armenian government leave no
    other choice but to reject any agreement which would disregard the
    fundamental rights of the Armenian people throughout the world"
    says the statement.

    Authors of the document state, that it is not possible to accept
    the joint statement of Turkey, Armenia, and Switzerland of April 22,
    2009 for the following reasons:

    "The date of the statement, two days before the remembrance of the
    Armenian Genocide, is inappropriate, to say the least : on April 24,
    every year, Armenians commemorate all over the world the genocide
    which the Young Turks perpetrated on the helpless civilian Armenian
    populations of the Ottoman Empire.

    The eagerness of the declaration casts doubt on the dangerous
    and unacceptable concessions that Armenia will be forced to make
    at the debit of the national security of the Republic of Armenia,
    particularly concerning the Karabagh self-determination recognition
    process. The government of Armenia has been put under the strong
    pressure of superpowers seeking their own interest's satisfaction.

    By the present, we formally declare our stance to the politicians
    and remind them, that together with other Armenian communities of
    the Diaspora, the citizens of Armenia and Karabagh, we will reject
    unequivocally any agreement, which might jeopardize the fundamental
    rights of the Armenian nation" says the document.
