On the occasion of the 21st anniversary of Armenia's independence, the
ANC organized a festive meeting near Saryan Statue today. Aram
Manukyan, a member of the Pan-Armenian National Movement (PANM)
executive committee, was the first to congratulate the gathered
people, `All Armenians, old and young, who associated their future
with Armenia, dreamt of this occasion... Armenia forged its future,
independent Armenia, joyfully and nationally. The majority of
Armenia's residents are not here anymore, the majority of them are
disappointed and disillusioned, we lived, won, created Karabakh, we
created a democratic country of our own with that enthusiasm... and we
didn't know that a disease, a virus was lurking, which would spread
and ruin this country. The force, which struggled against all external
evils, suddenly had troubles inside. Our functionaries, hungry people
and parvenus have ruined this country and filled the parliament with
emptiness.'
According to him, the ANC has been struggling against the internal foe
for 5 years, `Independence is a process, we are at a stage, when one
should eliminate one's internal worm, nonentity, in order that the
country is independent and the resident of Armenia wants to live in
Armenia. We are at a different stage of this very hard process of
independence.'
Nikol Pashinyan, an ANC MP, noted that 21 years after gaining
independence, we face the fact of wasted national wealth,
self-assertiveness and dashed hopes, `God defend us from our friends,
from our enemies we can defend ourselves. The Kocharyan-Serzh regime
with its big and small stooges sells our government every day, every
hour. Those who are in government offices are like beggars with ties
who wander in Europe, America and Russia selling our pride like
peddlers.'
