Zhirayr Sefilian, the coordinator of the Sardarapat movement, has said
that his proposal to hold public discussion with young activists of
the opposition Armenian National Congress, or HAK, has been rejected.
In a status on his Facebook account posted on Wednesday, Sefilian
said that: "I would like to mention the following related to the
statement by Vahagn Gevorgyan made on August 23 this year: the debate
that started in public should have ended in public too, even if it
would by some circles be deemed a show."
"In fact, my proposal for public debate was rejected," Sefilian added.
It comes after Sefilian invited young activists of the HAK to a public
discussion either in Friday Club or on Liberty Square in Yerevan at
1pm on August 25. He had said that the HAK activists were free to
choose another venue.
Vahagn Gevorgyan had earlier told Tert.am that the format proposed
by Sefilian resembles a show, adding that for the same reason they
insist on holding the debate in HAK's headquarters.
"And if Sefilian has some complexes with the office of the Congress
[HAK], then we can meet him anywhere, without preserving the elements,
the public background of this show," Gevorgyan had said.
