"Obviously, the main responsibility of today's situation, especially
the current crisis in the country, lies with the authorities. Besides,
there are more than 100 political prisoners in Armenia. If Armenia
continues sliding backward we shall soon resemble some African
countries," said Narek Galstian, Chairman of the Sargis Tkhruni
Student-Youth Union of the Social Democratic Henchak Party.
Narek Galstian thinks the main precondition for surmounting the
crisis is to free the political prisoners otherwise the authorities
will gain nothing.
The Chairman of the Youth Party Vahan Babayan agrees that the political
situation in the country tensed after the March 1 events. He says the
authorities are taking steps "to establish real democracy in Armenia."
He thinks that all provocateurs of mass disorders and law-breakers
must stand trial. Babayan says all political prisoners have been
released. While Galstian says simply their restraints have been
changed.
Vahan Babayan offered a dialogue as a way out of the crisis. He also
suggests dispelling the atmosphere of hatred in the country.
Narek Galstian says the authorities, in particular Robert Kocharian,
should shoulder responsibility for the March 1 occurrences.
