RAFFI HOPES MURDER OF VILLAGE HEAD IS NO SIGNAL OF VIOLENCE
Today few people greeted the leader of the Heritage Party Raffi
Hovannisian in Talin town. Lots of policemen were deployed to follow
the participants of the rally. People of Talin mentioned a general
atmosphere of fear in the town to the reporter of Lragir.am.
"The police came to the square earlier than us. It is a working hour
so there are few people. Besides, there is fear in people," said a
resident of the town. Some women blamed the people of the town for the
situation. They said everyone is dissatisfied but they do not come to
the square because they think God will change the government for them.
Raffi Hovannisian told the people of Talin that they showed they
are overcoming fear and threats. "We have come to thank you for
your support. On April 9, at 11 we will gather on Freedom Square and
declare new Republic of Armenia. It will not be a day to stay at home
and make toasts. We hope they will not close the roads on that day,"
he said. Raffi Noted that he will not break his promise to people,
and people must not betray their struggle.
Raffi Hovannisian expressed hope that the murder of the head of
Proshyan village is not a signal to bring a precedent of violence.
"God forbid and people forbid that some masses behind people who have
connections with some forces repeat the sad past of killing their
brothers. We will not have that,"Raffi Hovannisian stated.
After Raffi's words people on the square were heard say, "This is
our end, they are already intimidating and killing."
