Today, on 28 April, the official presentation of the opening of “Return to Kashatagh” NGO took place.

Mr. Karen Zadoyan, President of the Armenian Lawyers’ Association delivered a welcoming speech at the event.

“It is very important to create a system of resistance in Armenia, and with the foundation of the NGO “Return to Kashatag” NGO one of the important nodes of this resistance system has been created.

“As you already know, the directions of the non-governmental organization are already coordinated, covering the range from the legal and political issues, solving rights protection issues, to the problems of international protection of historical and cultural values,” Karen Zadoyan said.

According to the President of the ALA, now there is a lack of sovereign non-governmental organizations in Armenia, where decisions are made within the organizations; and “Return to Kashatagh” NGO can become such a sovereign organization, as it has a clear strategic plan with its vision, mission, values, specific goals and objectives, and in addition, all the activities of the organization issue from the strategic plan.

I wish the “Return to Kashatagh” NGO a green way, let today’s event be the beginning of that return. Once again, I would like to point out that currently, it is very important to create such resistance nodes. If we do not have those nodes, we cannot even imagine the return in the future and the solution of legal and political issues,” he said.

Let us add that “Return to Kashatagh”, “De-occupation of Hadrut”, “De-occupation of Shushi”, “Return to Karvachar”, “Return to Dizak”, “Kumayri” Non-Governmental Organizations of Artsakh Armenians, “Harmony” Shushi women non-governmental organization and a number of other structures were and are established with the support of the Armenian Lawyers’ Association.
