A Karabakh war veteran who was beaten up by masked people last week
sees the government as responsible for the attack that elicited a
wide public response in Armenia.
"The biggest criminal is the Government of Armenia, because of their
impunity there are armed groupings in Armenia who can take revenge,"
Freedom Fighters' Alliance member Suren Sargsyan claimed on Wednesday.
Talking to reporters Sargsyan also suggested that the attack on him and
two other Karabakh war veterans was "a failed attempt to destabilize
the country".
Addressing the opinions of what the freedom fighters have to do with
politics, Sargsyan said that the fact that freedom fighters stood up
is not surprising.
"We, young fellows, went to defend our homeland, tried to conquer
independence, and now we are losing our country from our hands,
shall we just sit and wait?" he said.
Sargsyan said that freedom fighters unite around one idea and they
do not tolerate such occurrences, they will also cooperate with
non-governmental forces, those that are concerned by the future of
the country.
"We meet with everyone - Heritage, the Armenian National Congress,
the Prosperous Armenia Party, even if one day the Republican Party
of Armenia comes and says that they want to stand by us, we will
cooperate with them as well," Sargsyan concluded.
