ArmInfo. Sasna  Tsrer   present their roadmap in Yerevan  

As  Alec Yenikomshian, member of  Founding Parliament  and ASALA vet,  shared at  press-briefing held in Yerevan on November 1, the road map  is entitled as "Establishment of a  New Republic". According to  Yenikomshian, the road map is open for suggestions to be submitted to  the Sasna Tsrer profile on Facebook. "We have repeatedly stated that  it is pretty long time that our country faces the necessity of power  shift. But it is impossible to solve all the problems capsulated  during these years only by changing the authorities. Nowadays we face  three main objectives to be reached - corruption cancellation and  legitimate power establishment, adjudication of Nagorno Karabakh and  building a viable society. Unless all these targets are reached, it's  impossible to change the situation in the country," Yenikomshian  said. 

At  the same time he mentioned that all the actions should be  implemented in two stages - first to shift the power, and the second  - to set a two-year transitional period, which would be followed by  the implementation of the three tasks mentioned above, new  Constitution development and  legitimate elections in Armenia.  Yenikomshian felt hard to mention clearly the terms of the first  stage to be completed. He just stated that it will depend on how fast  and efficient the society will get mobilized and be led to struggle.  The FP member also disagreed with the view  that  considers the  situation with the Police Station seizure as  a resultless one.   "Today the public mentality has cardinally changed, it is much higher  than it used to be several years earlier. People do see the demand of  changes", Yenikomshian added.

Meanwhile, answering  the question if he really thinks that the power  shift would become the result of Sasna Tsrer actions, Yenikomshian  accentuated that  does not agree with such wording. "Today's  Government is of  much  more  satellite nature than the previous  one," the FP member said. Talking about the prospective way of the  country's development, Yenikomshian stated confidently, that it  should quit participating in CSTO and EEU as soon as possible,  improve relationship with NATO and especially with the USA. "That  absolutely does not mean jumping from one military alliance to  another, no way. I am confident also that Armenia should  strengthen  the partnership with Iran," he resumed. 

To remind, on July 17 this year, the Sasna Tsrer group seized the  police station in Erebouni community.  Sasna Tsrer demanded  discharging  Jirair Sephilyan and shifting the power in the country.  Sasna Tsrer actions sparked significant public outcry, multiple  demonstrations took place in Yerevan, and, as  the result, dozens of  people have been detained and arrested. The police station building  was unblocked on July 31, and 31 members of the group were arrested.  Three of police officers were killed, more than ten members of Sasna  Tsrer were injured.
