Armenia's independence today is like a young man tortured, beaten
and humiliated in the army or a 20-year-old girl abandoned in pain
who cannot go into labor because the doctor is beating wool - this
is the 20th anniversary of Armenia's independence, said one of the
founders of the Sardarapat movement, filmmaker Tigran Khzmalyan,
speaking to reporters in the Armenian capital today.
According to him, Armenia just 20 years later knows that the most
terrible threat to the state is not threats from Azerbaijan or a
Turkish blockade, but, first and foremost, local tyrants, who "are
in no way better than foreign tyrants."
"15-16 years after the war, constantly changing, but in no way
changing, changing governments that have declared themselves to be
the authority are led by the same basic premise, the ideological
basis... of the Armenian government's action plans, which is simply
one idea: the pillaging of the people. Thus, Armenia's independence,
the 20th anniversary of so-called independence, is nothing other than
an occupied territory. Consequently, its clans declaring themselves
the Armenian government are the occupiers," he said.
According to Khzmalyan, any cooperation, dialogue, deal, debate with
or adulation of the "occupiers" serves only one purpose: postponing
and strengthening those "occupiers'" authority by one day, one month
or one year.
There's only one way out, continued the Sardarapat movement founder,
"to overthrow the authority of these occupiers through civil
disobedience, public resistance, and moral intolerance."
