Leader of the People's Party of Armenia (HzhK) Stepan Demirchyan
says Armenia's interior and exterior problems are resulted by lack
of justice inside the country.
"Why shouldn't our citizens be allowed to stroll freely at Liberty
Square?" Mr. Demirchyan said regarding the recent confrontation
between opposition supporters and riot police at the square.
"It seems that the authorities have nothing else to do but blocking
opposition's entry to the square. The authorities pressurized
opposition activities violently removing them from the square. We
condemn the incident and call on the authorities to release journalist
Ani Gevorgyan and the two other opposition activists detained after
the clashes," said the HZhK leader.
Mr. Demirtchyan reminded the Armenian leadership that opposition would
continue rallying people unless the last political prisoner was set
free, and the authorities held free and fair elections in the country.
Stepan Demirchyan is astonished at people finding pleasure in the
authorities' failures.
"When the opposition fails it means the country is on the brink of
downfall. If authorities do not aim to take the path of free and fair
elections they must be forced to do it by the public. Sooner or later
people will succeed in their efforts. They cannot fail for ever. Power
change is not impossible. We do not want Armenia to follow the example
of Kyrgyzstan. We want a change of power by traditional methods."
President Serzh Sargsyan yesterday announced in Rostov-on-Don that
Armenia's political sphere is stabilising and anti-corruption programs
proved effective.
Commenting on the president's speech Mr. Demirtchyan said: "It is
needless to speak about stability. You can only talk about apathy,
depression and demoralization. But by and large, our society has not
resigned and will not tolerate injustice and violence. Undoubtedly,
the struggle will yield fruit. Today we witness increase in social
tensions, polarization and emigration. This is the real picture
