The leader of the Armenia-based Tsegharkon party stresses the need
of staging a revolution in Armenia, considering it the only way of
changing the country for the better.
In an interview with Tert.am, the politician explained the motives
behind his decision and the possible timeframes of realizing his plan.
Mr Harutyunyan, why did you decide one day to stage a revolution?
I haven't made a call for a revolution; I have declared that I am on
the revolution front. I never address a call to anyone; I just think
that a revolution is the only way to normalize the country. So anyone
who thinks that way, can go to a revolution.
Why did you make the decision now?
It isn't now that I have decided that. I made the decision two years
ago, in 2011. I said on the Yerkir Media [TV channel] that we will
stage a revolution in Armenia. So I am realizing my decision.
Mr Harutyunyan, what guarantees do you have that you will succeed in
doing what your predecessors, [opposition leaders] Levon Ter-Petrosyan
and Raffi Hovhannisian, failed to achieve?
What I rely on is not whether or not it will be a success, but the
fact that this is the only way out. So, if I want to be at ease with
my conscience and treat my country the right way, I am ready for that
revolution; for my country's dignity at least.
An ordinary revolution is not an individual manifestation; a revolution
itself is a public manifestation. If there are enough people in the
society, who find that a revolution is the only way and that they are
ready to take to the street and even to die, time will show everything
else. December 2 is my deadline.
There are now campaign groups; so if they offer you to join them,
what will be your decision?
To join what? Those demanding snap elections? Were there anyone wishing
a revolution, I would; I have waited for so long for the initiator
groups ... I am against elections in Armenia because I don't want to
fool myself. I don't want to call for snap elections.
Have politicians visited you in this period?
Nobody has, and I do not expect any visit.
