Narak Karaptian: "The declaration of independence is the foundation of our country."
The head of the "Strong Armenia" faction, Narek Karaftian, touched on the issue of the debates surrounding the Declaration of Independence and the new constitution, and summarized the results of the information campaign held today.
According to him, the declaration of independence is the fundamental document of the Armenian state, which expresses the will of the people and contains important instructions regarding both the Armenian genocide and the future of the state.
"Has there ever been a case where 90 percent of the population of the Republic of Armenia was unanimous about something? The only thing that 90 percent opposed was the declaration of independence. This is not a divisive issue. It contains very important instructions about the genocide, there are very important instructions about the future of the country as a whole. That foundation has already been laid.
Imagine that we remove the foundations of our country, forgetting the most important thing: we, our government and our country were created by the will of our people. The Declaration of Independence was adopted by the will of our people, the first constitution was also adopted by the will of our people.
And now it is unthinkable when your opponent - yesterday's enemy - imposes on you the need to change him. It turns out that the legitimacy comes not from this people, but from the neighboring undemocratic leader," said Kraftian.
