Heritage Condemns
Yerevan–With a brutality that is characteristic of the incumbent Armenian
authorities and in a severe violation of the provisions laid down by the
country’s constitution and the international Convention for the Protection
of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the police, in the early hours of
today. attacked the peaceful protesters of Liberty Square. They dispersed
the thousands of participants who have been rallying in the past ten days.
According to the preliminary reports, there are numerous injured, several
casualties as well as countless people whose whereabouts are not known.
The Heritage Party deplores this modus operandi of communicating with the
people solely by the use of brutal force. The rulers of today have once
again placed themselves beyond the law and confirmed their tyranny to the
entire world.
The disgraceful presidential elections, recently held with an unprecedented
number of law violations, is subsequently followed by this crime which the
current administration committed against its own people. In view of this
tragedy, it would be meaningless to now speak about the establishment of a
legitimate presidential institution in Armenia. It is beyond any doubt that
such atrocious methods will bring forth huge problems for the country in
terms of meeting its foreign and domestic challenges.
Against the backdrop of the ruling administration’s appeals for
collaboration–appeals which were made to their "brothers and sisters"
assembled at the Liberty Square–this abhorring action also stands as a
vivid example of the dual ethics by which the current administration is
governed.
Heritage urges the free citizens of Armenia to stand firm against brutal
force and to continue their fight for civil rights and human dignity. Our
country deserves a legitimate government that enjoys public trust, and the
shared spiritual desire and the justified struggle of the people will
ultimately give birth to such a government.
Founded in 2002, Heritage has regional divisions throughout the land. Its
central office is located at 31 Moscovian Street, Yerevan 0002, Armenia,
with telephone contact at (374-10) 536.913, fax at (374-10) 532.697, email
