The public movement of like-minded young people We has issued a
statement, condemning external attempts to interfere in the domestic
and political life of Armenia.
The statement by the We movement says that "Armenia is persistently
moving forward on the democratic path and this is our choice",
Mediamax reports. "There is no power able to make us give up the
freedom we have at the moment," the statement reads.
Expressing its gratitude to countries and international organizations
"which have established equal and authentic partnership with our
country", the We movement condemned "all those who, acting from
outside or hiding under cover of various organizations in Armenia,
interfere in Armenia's political life and try to give us instructions
on issues of choice and building our future, assuming that we are
unable to rule our own country independently".
"We also condemn all those who, guided by purely personal aims, are
trying to use a foreign hand to write the history of our future, thus
calling into question the sovereignty of our country and our freedom,"
the statement said. The We movement said that "it will fight any
ideological interference by peaceful and civilized means".
The We movement also reported that it will stage a peaceful rally
outside the Armenian National Assembly in Demirchyan Street at 1100
[0600 gmt] on 29 August. The protesters are planning to urge MPs to
discuss the package of constitutional amendments and adopt a
constitution which "will lead us towards creating a prosperous and
democratic country protected from external threats".
