At a joint meeting on March 26 in Stepanakert, at the ARF "Nikol Douman Center", a number of youth groups drafted a letter addressed to RMK President Bako Sahakyan, criticizing recent comments of RoA President Sargsyan made in Syria regarding the possibility of territorial concessions. The letter congratulated President Sahakyan for enacting steps to resettle the territories liberated by Armenians during the war and praised him for stating that these territories were now an integral part of the RMK and that this point was duly noted in the nation’s constitution. Representatives of the various youth groups stated that while the RoA President could express his personal opinion regarding concessions, in his official capacity as head of state, he has no right to offer suggestions regarding the territories of the RMK without the prior consent of the RMK government and people. The joint letter states that such remarks by President Sargsyan questions the authority of the RMK Constitution and the current political line of the RMK government. The representatives added that the time had come for the signing of a document between Armenia and Artsakh that would clearly define the mutual rights and obligations of both states in the process of garnering international recognition of the RMK.
