YEREVAN. - Our objective is not solely a change in power; our key
objective is to carry out systemic changes in Armenia. Karabakh war
veteran, Armenia's Sardarapat initiative coordinator Jirair Sefilian
stated this Wednesday, within the framework of the citizen's assembly
at capital city Yerevan's Liberty Square.
He noted that they have a clear-cut program as to which direction
the people's outburst should be led.
"The newly-forming layer [of society in Armenia] has set a task of
creating a state with a new quality. We need to clarify as to what
system we will replace the working system with," Sefilian noted.
He also recorded that many say opposition Heritage Party Chairman,
former FM Raffi Hovannisian-who is declared runner-up to the winner,
incumbent President Serzh Sargsyan, as a result of the presidential
election that was conducted on February 18, but who claims to be the
real winner in the vote and who declared a hunger strike on March 10
at capital city Yerevan's Liberty Square-has no team.
"Raffi Hovannisian's team is our people entire. We have found the
mechanism that will unite the best sons of our people around the idea
of a new-quality state," Sefilian said.
He also noted that their program will resolve numerous problems.
"With our program we will resolve the matter of uniting the
pan-Armenian intellectual, ideological potential. That is, we will
create a state with the potential of not solely the Armenia-resident
people, but also with that of all Armenians. It is also time for a
political generation change. [But] by saying generation change we do
not mean the age, but rather a qualitative change," the Karabakh war
veteran said.
Sefilian also stressed that, "now we have a path, owing to which a
parallel power will be formed."
He also noted that the times, when one man had to lead the people,
have passed.
"Now, a group of people shall lead. A group of honest, stern people
should be formed, which need to set up the process by creating
coordination groups in Armenia and in the [Armenian] Diaspora,"
Jirair Sefilian maintained.
