Ideology of “Ashkharazhokhov” movement reveals the mission of the Armenian people

Sarkis Tsaturyan, Pan-Armenian movement “Ashkharazhokhov” founder, released a video outlining the movement’s ideology.

“The ideology of “Ashkharazhokhov” embodies the mission of the Armenian people and the Armenian land, and designates the principles we shall use to revive Armenia. “Ashkharazhokhov” belongs to all the Armenians living in and outside of Armenia equally. The movement opposes the division of Armenians on the grounds of religion, residence country, origin region or language of interpersonal communication.” the politician notes.

“Ashkharazhokhov” is a pro-Armenian movement serving Armenian people rather than foreign countries. We promote the Armenian interests inside Armenia and on the world stage.

“Ashkharazhokhov” aims to build a just society in Armenia, guaranteeing citizens equal access to education and health care regardless of their financial status or social background.

The material goods and natural resources should be distributed by the state in favour of majority, not minority, of Armenian citizens in Armenian society. That is, the natural resources of the Armenian land, including plains, mountains, rivers, lakes, mines and deposits are the property of the Armenian people, delegating to «Ashkharazhokhov» the authority to distribute them fairly.”  Tsaturyan explained.

He believes Armenia should become a non-aligned state and proclaim its neutral status on the world stage.

“The movement opposes Armenia’s membership in any military-political blocs, whether CSTO or NATO. Because the world is much wider than Russia and Turkey. The world is much bigger than Russia and the West. Armenia should promote win-win cooperation with the East in order to balance our homeland’s ties with Russia, Turkey and the West.”

Tsaturyan favours balanced approach of Armenia’s foreign and rejection of the «buffer» state role for Russia, Turkey or the West.

The Pan-Armenian movement founder advocates for cooperation with specific countries in beneficial to Armenia directions in a certain period.

“Armenia’s dialogue with the East hasn’t ruled out the partnership with the West. Even quite the contrary, since Armenia belongs neither to the East nor to the West. With regard to the international cooperation, being the Armenian people’s property, Armenia may determine the key actors and the degree of interaction independently.”
