THE BLOODSHED OF MARCH 1st PUT AN END TO POLITICAL CAREER OF
AUTHORITIES,- ZHIRAYR SEFILIAN SAYS
Y EREVAN, JULY 10TH, NOYAN TAPAN. "What takes place in the home
political field of Armenia is hard to characterize as a political
struggle: it is the people’s resistance to the governing regime",
announced Zhirayr Sefilian, the coordinator of the Defense of Liberated
Territories initiative, at the July 10 press conference. According to
him, the opposition movement gathers full speed day by day, and this
makes us believe that the opposition will succeed in the near future.
As to the position of the authorities, according to Z. Sefilian, it was
clear to him since long ago that they wouldn’t loath to shed blood to
retain their posts. Noting that his prevision came true on March 1st,
the former freedom-fighter announced that the bloodshed put an end to
the political career of the authorities. In his belief, now the
peaceful rallies of the opposition will be more productive than the
ones before March 1st.
Commenting on the estimations given by the former RA President Robert
Kocharian in the address of the People’s Movement and the first
President, Z. Sefilian said, "We shouldn’t comment on the words of a
mental patient, leaving this job to corresponding specialists. However,
the patient today has turned into a monster, moreover, a wounded
monster who will make ravages before dying."
Z. Sefilian announced that three days ago his initiative applied to the
Mayor of Yerevan, asking to endow the open-air rally envisaged in the
near future but was rejected. In his words, the authorities don’t allow
to hold rallies even in the territories next to the stadiums.
