YEREVAN (Noyan Tapan)–The Executive Body of the Armenian National Movement issued a statement–Wednesday–in connection with the series of terrorist acts reported in Armenia this week. The party–once again–expresses its unconditional support for the Ter-Petrosyan administration and as such calls on authorities and political forces in Armenia and Karbakh: 1. to ensure the continuity of the negotiations on the settlement of the Karabakh conflict under the umbrella of the OSCE Minsk group; 2. to refrain from presenting irreconcilable differences as a stand-off between the two parts of the Armenian people; 3. to refrain from using unworthy words and unacceptable tricks in political debates and respect the opponents;
The Armenian National Movement declares that it will stand up for the President of the Republic of Armenia in ensuring constitutional order–normal functioning of the authorities–and will be a guarantor of independence and security in the country–while the President exercises his constitutional obligations. Simultaneously–the Armenian National Movement urges to take resolute steps to prevent terrorism which is not confined to Armenia.
