ZHIRAYR SEFILYAN: GENERALS WERE FLATTERING SERZH SARGSYAN AND ARTHUR AGHABEKYAN WAS PRAISING SASHIK
15:01 | February 11,2015 | Politics
Artsakh President Bako Sahakyan has confessed that they have been
dreaming to join the Eurasian Economic Union for many years, Karabakh
war veteran Zhirayr Sefilyan told reporters in Yerevan on February 11.
"We were saddened to hear the words from a person who heads the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and for whom many people have shed their
blood. They were troubled that Armenia was able to accede to EEU
while Karabakh could not, and now they are looking for ways to fulfill
their dream," said Zhirayr Sefilyan.
Before last month's incident in Berdzor when scores of activists
representing the Founding Parliament opposition group were confronted
by NKR police as well as a group of plainclothes men during an
automobile march to Artsakh, Zhirayr Sefilyan met with senior officials
in Stepanakert. He says he was deeply disappointed with the meeting
which was attended by the Prosecutor General, Head of the National
Security Service and Deputy Minister of Artsakh.
During the meeting, Zhirayr Sefilyan and Emil Abrahamyan, another
member of the Founding Parliament, became convinced that they 'are
dealing with a government that does not demonstrate an appropriate
position.'
"The generals sitting in front of us were flattering Serzh Sargsyan.
Deputy Prime Minister of NKR Arthur Aghabekyan was overtly praising
Sashik [Serzh Sargsyan's brother]," said Mr Sefilyan.
He says the people in Artsakh have no connection with the January
31 violence.
"Many will try to use this incident and drive a wedge between Armenia
and the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic but I would advise everyone to
avoid such attempts," he said.
On January 31, scores of activists representing the Founding Parliament
opposition movement, a successor of the Pre-parliament pressure group,
organized an automobile march to Nagorno-Karabakh as part of their
campaign seeking a regime change in Armenia. Near Berdzor, they were
stopped by local police and a group of plainclothes men who forcefully
blocked their access to the territory of Karabakh.
A number of activists, including Jirayr Sefilyan, a Karabakh war
veteran and a former commander of the Shushi special detachment, were
beaten up during the incident. Also, some vehicles of the automobile
march were damaged.
