Northern Avenue for the Theatrical Square

Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s Spokesman Arman Musinyan was the guest of
`Tesaket’ club yesterday.

The summer heat doesn’t hamper the activity of the radicals. The
activists of Armenian Pan National Movement are not planning to go on
holidays; instead they will continue to clarify and elaborate the
strategy of the struggle and to consolidate the structures of the
movement.

August 1 demonstration is in the agenda of the revolutionary struggle:
`August 1 is a very important stage. The demonstration will settle a
very important issue; in the sense that we are going to show over again
that society is not going to retreat from its positions of active
political struggle and will continue to intensify its pressure on the
authorities and make them initiate political settlements.’

By saying `political settlements’ the `pan national’ movement means
extra-ordinary elections: `Because there is no other way out from the
created political crises.’

As regards the dialogue, this version is still refused. And the blame,
of course, is on the President: `He closed the ways of finding
political settlements and overcoming the crises. His problem! We will
remain on our standpoint. Unless our friends are detained there=2
0can be
no dialogue.’

`During the whole July month the actions took place in the Northern
Avenue, what did the sit in give to the revolutionary struggle?’

`The sit in solved a very important issue. Firstly it showed that the
members of the movement are strongly determined and it also fixed
attention. The results were visible. The conversation is also about the
international community. Sit in is a serious pressure on the
authorities and I assure you, that during the coming days the political
prisoners will be released because the authorities are under the
permanent pressure of the pan-national movement,’ A. Musinyan said
representing the sit in as the most tactical tool for pressure.

But the movement is disappointed of the Northern Avenue, they are eager
to return to `Azatutyun Square: `Azatutyun Square is the place of the
opposition. The authorities must give us this square that they have
conquered for 5-6 months. The moment they give us the possibility to
return to Azatutyun Square only in that case can the authorities demand
from the opposition to free the Northern Avenue. There is no other
option.’

August 1 demonstration will be held near Matenadaran.’
