December 21, 2006 - The Aldermen of the Armenian Intelligentsia have
made an announcement which says, "On December 9, the representatives
of National Security Service(NSS) exerted rough measures and arrested
the active participants of the Artsakh war - Zhirayr Sefilyan,
coordinator of the initiative "Protection of Liberated Territories",
hero of Artsakh war, Vardan Malkahsyan, member of "Motherland and
Honour" Party's Board and head of the party's Aragatsotn structure
and a few other activists. The arrests had groundless motivations
and were realized under the guise of "making public calls for the
forcible shift of the RA constitutional order".
The close connection between the events on the eve of the 2003
elections and nowadays criminal activities is apparent.
The arrests once more come to testify to the permissiveness and
willfulness of the acting authorities, to the unpredicted illegal
acts, existence of ordered trials, indifference to public opinion,
intelligentsia and other powers.
Suchlike cases deepen public's concern about the country's present
and future well-being.
The authorities implant the atmosphere of fear and dictatorship,
aimed at providing their reproduction in the forthcoming elections
and making compensations during the Karabakh conflict regulation via
silencing the public and Artsakh heroes.
Some of the Aldermen representatives were present at the well-known
meeting of December 2. They state that the meeting participants
called on the forces concerned with the country's problems to ally,
administer justice in the country and eradicate the atmosphere of fear,
permissiveness and willfulness.
All the above-mentioned issues were to be realized by the very
authorities.
We condemn the unfair verdict brought against the Artsakh heroes and
urge that suchlike steps can hinder the Armenia-Diaspora relations.
We demand to set the Artsakh heroes free immediately.
It is immoral to keep them in prison during the New Year celebrations".
The announcement was signed by the members of the Intelligentsia
Forum-Rafael Ghazaryan, Ervand Manaryan, Khoren Palyan, Lenser
Ahgalovyan, Robert Karayan, Ohan Duryan, David Sedrakyan, Hrachya
Matevosyan and Armen Manaryan.
