KARVACHAR DECLARATION
In recent years, discussions have been taking place in the liberated town of Karvachar by numerous people who pursue the development of the Armenian statehood, resulting in the following fundamental and irreversible frame of principles outlined below.
A. Sovereignty
A sovereign and independent national statehood is the ultimate form of national self-organization and the only guarantee of the longevity of the Armenian people. The inclusion of Armenia into any federal, confederate, neo-imperialistic, supranational and/or super state structure that restricts national sovereignty is unconditionally rejected.
B. Possession of the Motherland
The Armenians, represented by the national statehood, have the timeless, inalienable and absolute right to possess Armenia’s national territory in its entirety.
Accordingly:
- The current Armenian national-and-state borders, including the entire liberated territory of Artsakh, are totally inviolable and non-negotiable.
- Any encroachment refusing the imperative of liquidation of legal, political and territorial consequences of the Genocide, as well as consideration of illegal Armenian-Turkish demarcation line as a state border is rejected.
C. The Armenian Language
The Armenian language in Armenia, as the sole state language, has the absolute supremacy. Any encroachment on the absolute status of the Armenian language in areas of state governing, education, official clerical work and all other areas of public importance is utterly rejected.
D. Constitutional Order
An obligatory pre-condition for the formation of the Armenian state is the establishment and strict observance of constitutional law and order based on national consensus and deliberate and free expression of popular will. Any encroachment on equality of citizens established by the constitutional order is completely rejected.
