YEREVAN, JULY 15, NOYAN TAPAN. The Institute for Democracy and Human Rights thinks that Madrid principles on the Artsakh problem settlement confirm the unreserved defeat of the Armenian diplomacy. Considering inadmissible the call of the U.S., Russian and French Presidents in the July 10 joint statement on quickly reaching a final agreement in connection with them, IDHR considers more revolting the Armenian authorities' defeatist and unreasonable position on this occasion. According to the IDHR, RA Foreign Minister E. Nalbandian's July 11 statement confirms that the RA authorities are shamelessly ready to yield Armenian state interests, the RA and NKR peoples' rights for safe life and development. "We think in a similar circumstance that, to overcome the situation with dignity, the RA authorities must state at least at the RA President's level that our state and people do not accept the stated principles. It must be also unequivocally demanded that the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh is recognized a full and equal member of the negotiations. It is inadmissable to sit at the negotiations table on the occasion of the Artsakh problem, without satisfying these conditions. The Armenian party has all the preconditions for the victory from both legal and historic-cultural and military viewpoints. And the compromises and defeats in the political negotiations are provided only by diplomates' and elite's political flabbinees and weakness," is stated in the IDHR July 14 statement. If the present authorities of Armenia can not realize and carry out the interests and fundamental rights of the state and the people, then, according to the IDHR, they must quickly leave their positions or must be removed from them. Moreover, it must be carried out at the level of the RA President or government, but not the Foreign Minister. The IDHR expresses its assistance to all those forces who expressed resoluteness for keeping all the territories confirmed by the Constitution of the Republic of Artsakh, recognition of the state status of Artsakh or uniting with Armenia and are ready in this direction. The IDHR also calls the authorities of the Republic of Artsakh to express a principal position and reject Madrid principles and exert pressure on the RA authorities on that occasion.
