-THEY CANNOT BE BLAMED FOR STAYING ALIVE-
[12:35 pm] 13 June, 2008
The freedom fighters (hereinafter azatamartiks) of
Shirak Marz made an appeal to His Holiness Karekin II,
Catholicos and Supreme Patriarch of All Armenians.
-Patriarch of Armenians, we do not want to storm your
soul and tranquility by reminding you of the tragic
events of March 1. We do not want to remind you of the
slaughter of Armenian people who, with the name of God
on their lips, like those looking for the flower
brabion, were seeking justice at the Square of Freedom
for 10 days. Ten days which were followed by political
persecution and arrests,- runs the appeal of the
Gyumri office of the Yerkrapah Union of Volunteers.
As a result, hundreds of honest, free and law-abiding
citizens, political activists, azatamartiks and
commanders of the liberation war were appeared in
jails. By the way, some of the arrestees are members
of the National Church Council, Ashot Zakarian, Sasun
Mikayelian, Hakob Hakobian, Miasnik Malkhassian, and
many others. They are all worth mentioning as on
October 27, 1999, they elected you but today they are
imprisoned with put-up charges based on false evidence
of people who have sold their conscience to Mammon.
Trials resemble judgments of the era of the
inquisition, and it would be like committing a sin if
we used the word justice. And all this happens in
Armenia, with your silent indifference. Thus, if we
commit a sin with our unawareness and ignorance, it
means the fault lies either with the pro-government
media or with the silence of the Holy See for
confidence in the authorities and the government has
vanished. The country's reputation is soiled, which
will result in unpredictable consequences. If this
tense and heated climate of intolerance continues, the
state will considerably weaken, and eventually faith
in the person of the catholicos of all Armenians will
be shattered.
We hereby appeal to you. It is time you used the power
of your patriarchal seat and supported the devout and
faithful children of the Armenian Apostolic Church who
sacrificed everything for our faith, independent state
and are not to be blamed for having stayed alive by
God's mercy. So do make a patriarchal appeal to the
government to listen to your authoritative voice and
restore the rights and freedoms of people set by the
Constitution. Set free all the political prisoners
because the Armenians worldwide will never tolerate
tyranny in Armenia with its inhuman expressions, and
if people believe the void and bombastic promises and
forgive them, God will not forgive those who ignore
God's commandments, including you. Do prove that you
are the person chosen by God's will and you are the
patriarch of all Armenians.-
