Heritage Party Leader Raffi Hovanissian has issued a statement
condemning the Saturday incident on the Goris-Stepanakert highway
near Berdzor in which members of the Founding Parliament, a successor
of the Pre-Parliament pressure group, were attacked and beaten up by
Karabakh police forces when trying to cross into the Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic to hold a political action there.
"It is a shame for all of us on the threshold of the centenary of
the Armenian Genocide. We will achieve justice, but on condition that
we start from ourselves," Mr Hovanisyan said adding that despite his
respect for Serzh Sargsyan and Bako Sahakyan, he believes that they
should resign for the sake of Armenia, for the future of our Homeland
and our soldiers.
"And then, after complex changes, the entire nation will elect the
first president of the united Armenia, ready to fully devote himself
to serving out country and people," he said.
Police in Nagorno-Karabakh stopped on Saturday members of the Founding
Parliament who were holding an automobile rally to Karabakh. Among the
participants were also Jirayr Sefilian, a former commander of Shushi
special battalion, and other veterans of the Karabakh war, who are
said to have beaten up by the Karabakh police and young men wearing
special police task force uniforms. The Founding Parliament says more
than a dozen participants of the automobile rally were injured in the
incident that happened on the Goris-Stepanakert highway near Berdzor.
Journalist Anushavan Shahnazaryan was also hospitalized with injuries
in Goris.
