REGIME CHANGE IN ARMENIA TO START ON GENOCIDE REMEMBRANCE DAY DESPITE ARRESTS: CIVIL INITIATIVE
04.07.2015 15:12 epress.am
The Armenian law enforcement is conducting searches in the headquarters
of the "Founding Parliament" civil initiative and the houses of
its members in Armenia's provinces, a statement by the initiative
said. Earlier on April 7 "Founding Parliament" reported about searches
in Yerevan; a number of members of the initiative have been detained.
The RA Investigative Committee said later on Tuesday that "Founding
Parliament" coordinator Jirayr Sefilian, members of the initiative
Pavel Manukyan, Varujhan Avetisyan, and Gevorg Safaryan were
arrested on charges pursuant to Article 225 of the RA Criminal Code
(organization of mass disorder, accompanied with violence, pogroms,
arson, destruction or damage to property, using fire-arms, explosives
or explosive devices, or by armed resistance to the representative
of the authorities).
In Vanadzor, Hovhannes Ghazaryan has been detained after a search at
his house. According to the statement, searches are being conducted
at the initiative's headquarters in Vanadzor and Kapan. Aram Hakobyan,
the Head of the initiative's office in Gyumri, has also been detained;
the police have allegedly found a "freshly packaged grenade" on the
roof of his house.
According to an earlier statement issued by the RA Investigative
Committee, "the RA National Security Service and Special Investigative
Committee have joined forces to prevent mass disorders at the public
event locations on April 24, 2015."
"As a result of measures undertaken, it has become clear that a group
of individuals, taking into consideration the real likelihood of
large gatherings at the locations of public events organized on the
territory of the Republic of Armenia on April 24, 2015 on the occasion
of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, has been calling on
the people to not obey that day the requirements of the authorities,
and, if necessary, to use violence, to resort to power struggle,"
the official statement said.
Note, that the "Founding Parliament" civil initiative is pursuing
regime change in Armenia. However, the initiative's coordinator,
war veteran Jirayr Sefilian stated earlier that they were not going
to organize upheavals on April 24.
Meanwhile, in Yerevan "Founding Parliament" member, Nagorno-Karabakh
war veteran Gagik Sarukhanyan (pictured) said to the journalist today
that the time and place of "The Centennial without this regime"
sanctioned rally organized by the initiative remain unchanged -
7 PM on April 24, in front of the Erebuni Museum in Yerevan.
The arrests and searches conducted on Tuesday, as stated by
Sarukhanyan, can not interfere with the implementation of their plans.
"The rally will take place, and we will begin the process of ending
this despicable situation, we will pursue regime change. We are
prepared for any scenario. If you'd asked Jirayr Sefilian during the
[Artsakh Liberation War] if he knew he could be killed, he'd have
said 'of course, I know.' Now our liberation movement has entered a
new phase; we are going to liberate both Artsakh and Armenia, and,
of course, we are aware of and are prepared for the dangers. Even if
the rally were set on top of Mount Ararat, the regime change would
still take place," Sarukhanyan said.
