HAK RESPONDS TO GORIK HAKOBYAN'S STATEMENTS
20:31 | December 22,2014 | Politics
The Armenian National Congress has issued a statement responding
to the statements of Armenia's National Security Service (NSS) Head
Gorik Hakobyan who said at the weekend that the NSS will prevent any
attempt violate the constitutional order and overthrow the government.
"Gorik Hakobyan's statements about the threat posed to the
constitutional order are merely an attempt to intimidate people.
If there is any threat to the constitutional order of the country,
the authorities or the intelligence services announce about the threat
mentioning the names of the force[s] as it is accepted in the civilized
world. But the NSS head did not say anything in his statements about
the forces or figures that are making these 'irresponsible' calls.
Gorik Hakobyan's unspecific accusations and threats can be explained
in two ways: either the NSS does not have any real evidence, hence,
the statements are illegal and criminal, or the regime, realizing
that its resignation has become a popular demand, wants to terrorize
the entire nation with such statements.
The Armenian National Congress condemns the statements of the NSS
Head and announces that it is the acting regime that threatens the
constitutional order in Armenia by using violence against citizens and
political forces. Therefore, we view the statements as continuation
of intimidation and chain of violence organized by the regime against
people, aimed at undermining the nationwide movement which is doomed
to failure," reads the statement.
Speaking at a meeting held on the occasion of NSS workers day on
December 20, Gorik Hakobyan said that the NSS will strictly prevent
any illegal behavior aimed at breaking the constitutional order. He
also warned 'certain opposition forces' against trying to involve
Diaspora Armenians in domestic political matters in Armenia.
