    Armenian National Movement: "The authorities, led by Serzh Sarkissyan
    de jure and Robert Kocharyan de facto, act beyond the frames of law
    and democracy"

    17 May 2008 [12:37] - Today.Az


    The working authorities of Armenia continue to ignore decisions,
    adopted by the EU Presidium, PACE resolution, and appeals of other
    international structures and European countries.

    The due announcement is contained in the statement of the Armenian
    National Movement.

    The shooting of March 1 peaceful protests participants and further
    large scale terror against tens of thousands of people did not
    overpower the National Movement. The politically motivated arrests of
    over 150 key movement activists also were not effective-they were
    replaced by new people, says the statement.

    Levon Ter-Petrosyan's speech at the congress of opposition powers
    showed that the strengthening and determination of the political
    forces, struggling for democracy and freedom have strengthened. This
    caused a new wave of arrests and persecutions.

    "Within several days following the congress over 200 people were
    brought to the law enforcement bodies only by information of the
    movement (which is 30% of the reality, as most people fear to speak
    about the events). All of them are participants of March 1 protests
    and other meetings, relatives of political prisoners, their
    friends. They were deprived of legal defense, subjected to physical
    and psychological pressure and not allowed to inform their relatives
    about their detainment.

    All, who tried to get false testimonies against political prisoners by
    way of terror, have empty materials of guilty. This proves once more
    that the authorities, led by Serzh Sarkissyan de jure and Robert
    Kocharyan de facto act beyond the frames of law and democracy.

    The movement closely watches officials and law enforcement bodies,
    conducting an illegal activity. No matter whoever they are, they will
    be brought to responsibility.

    The leaders of the regime failed to understand the essence of the PACE
    resolution. The spasmodic actions of the authorities will lead to
    nowhere. Armenian people will win the fight for freedom and
    democracy", says the statement.
