Yesterday, Republican Party faction member, General Seyran Saroyan
justified the attack on Armenian National Congress faction secretary
Aram Manukyan and called the suspected attacker a "dignified guy."
"Our friend Aram Manukyan can curse our Republic's president in front
of the public. If we had slapped our friend in the National Assembly
at the time, then today that man would not have slapped him. Now we
are all to blame that we weren't man enough to get up and smack him
and say Aram, how dare you curse the president of the Republic in
public. When you were cursing him, did you not think that a righteous
guy would come and punch you in the face?" said Saroyan, adding that
everyone condemns the attack but no one speaks about reasons behind
it. According to General Saroyan, democracy is "not about cursing"
and later not being held responsible for it.
"We have to speak in the people's language so they understand us. Aram
Manukyan, why would you curse even a regular guy, you're a civilized
man. When Shmice (Republican Party faction MP Arakel Movsisyan) curses,
to hell with him, but what are you cursing for, dude. Be it a driver,
an average laborer, he has more dignity than all of combined," stated
the Republican faction member.
Recall, this September during the trio's rally in the city of Abovyan,
Aram Manukyan had stated "but there exists another people, which I am
proud of, which is your type (of people) who say 'screw Serzh, and
Sashik (president's brother), and Mishik (president's son-in-law),
I'm the master of my country.'"
General Saroyan also discussed the attacks on veterans in his speech.
Saroyan said that they were personal arguments between deputy-police
chief Levon Yeranosyan and veteran Razmik Petrosyan. Last week,
the Zhoghovurd daily had reported that Petrosyan was beaten on
Yeranosyan's orders.
"They are military buddies. Today, if Lyova (Levon Yeranosyan) and
Razmik (Petrosyan) resolve their problems, we will all be ashamed
and be the bad guy. Let's keep calm, we have no business with
the veterans, we will find a solution together with our friends,
whoever's at fault, we can say to their faces 'are you a jackass,
what are you doing?'" said Saroyan.
