Zhirair Sefilyan, a Sardarapat Movement member, believes that events
similar to what happened in Yerevan's Mashtots Park on May 1, 2012,
had not happened in Armenia for the past 18 years.
At his Friday meeting with journalists he voiced the opinion that
the events proved an opportunity for people to defend their freedom
of choice.
"We have not seen such a thing for 18 years. Numerous clashes have
taken place, but the public has never gained victory over the ruling
regime. This is the first victory," he said.
"Our brilliant young people succeeded in defending the people's
freedom of choice," Sefilyan said.
He is sure that the May 1 events were possible due to a new
generation. Appealing to them, Sefilyan said: "Preserve the victory
you gained in Mashtots Park. I am sure it will bring further success."
He noted that Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's step must not be
emphasized with respect to the "Mashtots Park victory."
"Of importance is the fact that the young people succeeded in
accomplishing their task. Mashtots Park was cleared of boutiques,
which inaugurated the process of clearing our country of the destroyer
oligarchic system," Sefilyan said.
Asked about "a pre-election PR attempt," Sefilyan said: "Any PR attempt
by the ruling regime leaders is pointless. People have formed a clear
idea of them. They are a criminal ruling top. They are an anti-Armenian
ruling top, which is bringing our people to ruin," he said.
