The "Sargis Tkhruni" Student-Youth Union of the Hnchakyan Party
demands an explanation for the demolition of the statue of General
Andranik in Sochi.
"Armenian and Russian presses have touched upon the demolition of
National Hero, legendary Hayduk, General Andranik in Sochi on the
evening of May 27. According to sources, the demolition wasn't due
to pressure from Turkey or Azerbaijan (even though in that case,
only that would be logical), but by the initiative of the leadership
of the Sochi branch of the Union of Armenians of Russia.
The "Sargis Tkhruni" Student-Youth Union of the Hnchakyan Party simply
expresses indignation with the demolition of Andranik's statue by
our compatriots before Republic Day. The leadership of the Union of
Armenians of Russia must give a proper explanation for taking this
humiliating step.
Andranik laid his entire life on the line for the Armenian Cause
and didn't spare any efforts for the Armenian nation's liberty and
the liberation of our lands. Demolishing the statue of a national
hero is, to say the least humiliating, if not treason," as stated in
the statement.
