YEREVAN, AUGUST 28, NOYAN TAPAN. September 2 is Day of the Declaration of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR). Reminding about this, the ARF "Simon Vratsian" Center announces that it will hold a rally in Yerevan's Charles Aznavour Square on September 2, at 6:30 pm. The center calls on everybody "to display a willingness and resolution regarding the issue of defending the independence and security of the NKR and to prevent the dangerous process of normalizing the Armenian-Turkish relations". The report in partucular says: "Winning the war imposed by Azerbaijan and expressing the will of the whole Armenian nation, Artsakh declared and defended its independence. Today, under conditions of an activation of the negotations, we must: - stand up for the victory won by our people and make others respect the independence of Artsakh, - reject any concession imposed on us, - demand the return to the negotiation format with the participation of Arstakh as a full-fledged party, Taking into account the fact that the serious dangers of the current process of normalizing the Armenian-Turkish relations have not been eliminated, we again demand before the expected football match that: - the negotiations serving the Turkish interests should be stopped, - in honoring its international obligations, Turkey should not be allowed to impose any concessions on Armenia, - the foreign minister directly responsible for diplomatic failures should resign".
