<Iravunk> writes that "Friends of Crimea" club of Armenia learned with great indignation and deep regret about the statement of Anna Grigoryan, the head of the parliamentary faction of the "Hayastan" bloc led by Robert Kocharyan, that their political Mine did not recognize and does not recognize Crimea as part of the Russian Federation. This position is not only in deep confrontation with the position of the Russian Federation, but also violates the will and rights of the Crimean people. We should inform Robert Kocharyan and � To Anna Grigoryan, the leader of his faction, that on March 16, 2014, the people of Crimea held a referendum on the issue of independence from Ukraine and reunification with Russia, which it was a part of until 1954. Crimean people with free will expression 9 6.77 percent voted in favor of reunification with Russia, 83.1 percent of voters participated in the referendum. It should be noted that the Armenian community of Crimea wholeheartedly supported the idea of the reunification of the Republic of Crimea with Russia. Robert Kocharyan � the declaration of political power contradicts the international principle of free self-determination of nations in the UN Regulation. It is more than strange and surprising, because Robert Kocharyan led Artsakh and later fought for the Republic of Artsakh. for independence based on the principle of self-determination of nations. Robert Kocharyan's declaration of political power causes great damage not only to the age-old friendship of the Armenian and Russian peoples, to the multi-million Armenian community in Russia and especially the authority of its Crimean part, but also hits Artsakh from behind, depriving Artsakh Armenians of the right to self-determination. We strongly condemn the shameful thoughts voiced by the "Armenia" faction, I am sure that the vast majority of voters of the "Armenia" bloc do not share the above-mentioned statement and will express their position regarding the above-mentioned statement of the "Armenia" bloc. We also expect the leader of the "Armenia" bloc to receive an explanation from Obert Kocharyan regarding the above-mentioned expression and the political position of him and the alliance he leads in relation to the Crimean issue in general.

The Kocharian alliance violates the rights of not only Crimea, but also Artsakh
