    HERITAGE'S FRONTLINE:

    A RESOLUTION FOR ARMENIA AND THE ARMENIAN PEOPLE



    1. The Patrimony is one and indivisible.

    2. The sovereign Nation-State declared in one corner of the ancestral
    homeland recognizes republican Turkey and its integrity subject to
    Woodrow Wilson's arbitral award as issued under U.S. presidential seal
    in November 1920. A full and final regulation of all bilateral matters
    deriving therefrom is a material precondition to an equitable and
    enduring resolution in the case of Artsakh and Armenian-Azerbaijani
    relations in general. There is no statute on limitations on the crime
    of Genocide and National Dispossession, however or whenever it has
    been committed and internationally defined.

    3. The nation-state recognizes both the Republic of Mountainous
    Karabagh, as constitutionally constituted, and republican Azerbaijan
    and its integrity subject to its own recognition of the Artsakh
    republic as well as release from occupation of the historic heartlands
    of Shahumian, Getashen-Martunashen, Artsvashen, and Nakhichevan. No
    other territorial adjustment shall be considered or executed until the
    foregoing takes complete effect.

    4. The nation-state recognizes republican Georgia as an important
    neighboring country which, in its own turn, acknowledges that Javakhk
    is part and parcel of the Patrimony and of their common security. The
    character of their reciprocal relationship, moreover, will turn on the
    efficacy of measures undertaken to demonstrate this understanding as
    well as to ensure fundamental freedoms for the Georgian-Armenian
    community and its institutions.

    5. The nation-state respects the partnership of Iran, Russia, China,
    the European Union and the United States, and expects their respect
    for its absolute sovereignty and the rightful integrity of its
    heritage.

    6. The nation-state, at Ararat and in dispersion, further recognizes
    that the bedrock of the points above and below is its own immediate
    and comprehensive transformation into a modern, democratic, and
    self-confident Republic where the law rules, rights are revered,
    political prisoners are precluded, and the citizen is crown. Justice
    in the world entails justice at home.

    7. In direct consequence and for the sake of generations to come, the
    nation-state notes with gratitude the services rendered by all of its
    presidents, civil and military officials, and rank-and-file patriots,
    and at once requires each of them to stand equally before the rule of
    law. The territories, properties, enterprises, opportunities, and
    human lives heretofore privatized, expropriated, or sacrificed by
    their abuse of power must be accounted for to the fullest extent of
    the very same law.

    8. For the first time in their long history, Armenia and its people
    must urgently conduct true elections for their presidency, legislature
    and, by extension, a really independent judiciary. Failing this, there
    is no national agenda, nor a manifest destiny, and so our birthright
    has already been squandered for good.

    9. The nation-state, its every citizen, and no one else are
    responsible, without excuse or exception, for the burdens and
    blessings of their collective future.
