YEREVAN, JANUARY 21, NOYAN TAPAN. "After the March 1 slaughter
the authorities committed for the purpose of stopping people's
peaceful actions a deep political crisis goes on in Armenia up
to the present." Levon Zurabian, the Coordinator of the Armenian
National Congress Central Office, stated at the January 21 press
conference. According to him, its main reason is that the authorities
refuse to look for political solutions. According to him, the "regime
has adopted a dull-brained strategy having no prospects, aimed at
wearing out and demoralizing the people's movement through keeping
political hostages," and the authorities are ready to do anything to
achieve that, in consequence of which Armenia suffers much losses. In
particular, country's positions in the Nagorno Karabakh negotiations
become weak, the investments within the framework of the Millennium
Challenge corporation have been dampened, cooperation with the European
Union is endangered.
"First of all the authorities are responsible for all this, the
imprudent policy of which first of all leads them by the way of
self-demoralization," L. Zurabian said.
While, according to him, today the people's movement is as mighty as
never: the consolidation has been kept and ANC structures and abilities
continue becoming strong. "We demand that the authorities stop the
policy having no prospects, release all political prisoners. After
it by establishing a dialogue with the opposition together find ways
of Armenian political system's rehabilitation and restoration of
democracy," L. Zurabian said.
In his opinion, there are all bases for making a decision to use
sanctions to Armenia during the coming PACE session, as no progress
has been recorded in the issue of fulfilling the demands. According to
L. Zurabian, the Armenian authorities well realize and are terrified
of the consequences of the sanctions to be used, but outwardly they
show calmness to encourage their team-mates.
