    I have repeatedly expressed the opinion that the Russian Caucasian
    policy has crucial consequences for the destiny of the Armenian
    nation. The regular proof of this idea is the Armenian and Turkish
    protocols released on August 31. Many political forces voiced their
    dissatisfaction in connection with the points of the protocols but no
    one had the courage to show that Russia stands behind this national
    betrayal. Even if the Armenian government with the lips of the foreign
    minister states that there is no word about the agreement of Kars in
    these protocols, nevertheless, the betraying essence of these
    documents does not change first, the Kars agreement is not mentioned
    because the point is not about only one, but two, three
    agreements. Second, the agreement of Kars alone is a document of no
    force without the Russian-Turkish agreement of Moscow in 1921
    consequently, the sides did not consider expedient to mention all the
    agreements in these protocols. Recall until the Russian-Turkish
    agreement signed on March 16, 1921 is in effect, Armenia and Turkey
    cannot conclude any other document of any other content other than the
    Kars agreement. Sure, the new pact may be called not agreement of Kars
    but agreement of Sarighamish or Alashkert, but the old and initial
    content of the agreement does not change. The proof of this is one of
    the most important points of the Russian-Turkish agreement:

    Article 15: Russia is obliged to make steps towards Sub Caucasian
    countries to ensure the recognition of those articles of this document
    which concern it during the signing of other documents between these
    countries and Turkey.

    So far, the 1921 Russian-Turkish document has not been declared
    invalid either by Russia or by Turkey. Moreover, in 1996 Yeltsin and
    Demirell celebrated the 75th anniversary of this agreement.

    The mutual visits of Putin and Erdogan show that Russia and Turkey
    treat seriously this agreement and according to the Article 15 Russia
    forces the Armenian government to recognize all the anti-Armenian
    articles during its negotiations with Turkey. Underline that apart
    form the 1 and 3 Articles of the agreement of Moscow on giving
    Nachijevan to Azerbaijan and Kars to Turkey, there is another
    interesting article regarding Armenia and the Armenian nation: the
    Article 8 (article 10 in the agreement of Kars). This article regards
    all the Armenian patriots and is directly connected with the destiny
    of all the political prisoners in 1960s arrested for patriotic
    activities. Even the members of the National United party who were
    arrested for the Armenian independence are partially victims of the
    Russian-Turkish Moscow agreement and those who led their activities
    without anti-soviet stances and strive for independence are the
    victims of the article 8. And if such people as Razmik Zohrabyan,
    Vazgen Karakhanyan are close to the plate of the government and do not
    remember about the struggle to return the region of Kars, the region
    of Nakhijevan have to be against the Russian-Turkish agreement only
    because this article imprisons them. Otherwise, they would become such
    accomplishers of Russia who judged Armenian patriots on the grounds of
    the Russian-Turkish agreement. The way they were judged on grounds of
    agreements signed by their ancestors the new generations will be
    judged by the agreement signed by them. Let us cite the article 8 of
    this agreement:

    Article 8: the sides are obliged to forbid the creation and the
    existence of such organizations and groups which have pretensions to
    become heads of the other country or a part of its territory, as well
    as the sides are obliged to forbid the creation and the existence of
    such groups the aim of which is to struggle against the other
    country. Russia and Turkey with mutual agreement assume the same
    obligation in connection with the rest of the Caucasian Soviet
    republics.

    As we have already mentioned, this article 8 of the Russian-Turkish
    Moscow agreement is also included in the Kars agreement as article 10.

    Let us reiterate that until the Russian-Turkish agreement of 1921 is
    in effect with its article 15, Armenia cannot establish any equal in
    rights relations with Turkey. Nevertheless, I think we have to
    establish this kind of relations with Turkey exceptionally based on UN
    relevant conventions.

    Under these conditions, I propose freezing the Armenian and Turkish
    negotiations for an indeterminate period. I appeal to the ARF
    Dashnaktsutyun and the Heritage. If you really want to destroy the
    Armenian and Turkish negotiations which are dictated by the Russian
    imperialism present your legal initiative to the National Assembly
    with the following demands:

    1. The Republic of Armenia condemns the Russian Soviet government for
    its crimes against people and humans and recognizes it as an empire of
    Bad.

    2. The Republic of Armenia condemns the Communistic party of the
    Soviet Union and recognizes it as a criminal organization against
    humanity.

    3. The Republic of Armenia considers the Russian-Turkish (Lenin-Kemal)
    agreement signed by the Russian communistic government on March 16,
    1921 as a crime against humanity.

    4. The republic of Armenia considers the Soviet-German
    Ribentrop-Molotov agreement signed by the Russian communistic
    government in 1939 as a crime again humanity.

    5. The National Assembly of Armenia appeals to the three Baltic
    countries as well as the legislative body of Poland proposing to
    recognize as a crime against humanity the Russian-Turkish agreement in
    1921 (Lenin-Kemal) and the Soviet-German agreement in 1939
    (Ribentrop-Molotov) and struggle in relevant international structures
    for their recognition.
