Major General Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan, Hero of Karabakh War, finds
that arresting Zhirair Sefilyan, Pavel Manukyan and the others was
the mistake of the authorities. He says they could have met them,
talked to them, urged them not to take to the street and refrain from
protests on April 24.
"Arresting Zhirair Sefilyan was something incomprehensible. First
they beat them, then they arrested them... There must be freedom of
expression. To tell the truth, I don't know anything about their plans,
I don't know what he wants but he is my brother-in-arms, and I think
he cannot be arrested just in case he does something on April 24."
Evoking his brothers-in-arms and their feats, Arkady Tadevosyan also
noted that planning something on April 24 was a mistake too though he
knows that the representatives of the Founding Parliament, and Zhirair
Sefilyan himself announced that their actions will be peaceful and
in accordance with law.
"But he shouldn't have told that, that was the reason to arrest him.
There was so much [time] till April 24, they could have worked with
him, he might have agreed but to arrest Zhiro and claim that he is a
terrorist... That was a very wrong decision to arrest him. Now those
who are speaking so much now, those speakers will hide somewhere when
hard times come, and people like him will again pick up their guns
and defend our country," he notes.
Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan calls to free the heroes. He calls his
brother-in-arms Pavlik Manukyan to stop his hunger strike. "He's a very
good guy, Pavlik is very good. Zhiro sat for several times and got
out... They are very strong men, I know them very well. I just can't
understand why they chose April 24. It was their mistake, I think."
The hero of the Karabakh war believes that arrests and searches will
not bend those people who have passed a glorious way.
