Today is the 14th day my supporters, the members Daredevils of Sasoun group, continue to resist the authorities at the expense of their lives, hoping that the people will join the uprising”, Artsakh war hero Zhirayr Sefilyan mentions in his statement disseminated by the Founding Parliament organization.
“It should be clear for everyone that the members sacrifice themselves for our country and people, for the sake of the free, just, democratic and sovereign state. It is very hard for me to keep silence and not to make calls addressing our people. I did this to prevent bloodshed and not create new obstacles for the possible negotiations.
However, the reality is that Serzh Sargsyan has no intention to solve the ongoing complex situation through political dialog. Unfortunately, he has decided to choose the bloody path and the strategy of physical, psychological and moral exhausting of the rebels, who have already become our people’s favorites.
This time we have no right to make a mistake. We must assess the situation correctly; use the opportunity given by the sacrifice of Daredevils of Sasoun and take right actions. Thus, to avoid daily bloodshed and prevent the bloody tragedy of the coming days, I offer as a solution that our people exercise their right to peaceful assemblies as soon as possible, standing as a human shield between the police and the territory of the seized police station.
Considering the deepening polarization in the society I first of all urge our people, and then the international community to interfere in the ongoing situation, consider the solution offered by me or propose their efficient solution for peaceful resolution of the situation and prevention of bloodshed. Otherwise, bloodshed will be inevitable and will result in the greater polarization in the society.
At the same time he is sure that implementation of this goal will require great efforts however the number of the people will grow and the regime will have to find a civilized way to admit the demands of the people and sit at the table of negotiations to reach a happy medium, where there will be no winners or losers and the decision should be in favor of the people and the state. Welcoming the citizens who have taken to the streets Sefilyan urged Armenia and Artsakh population, Armenians of Javakhk as well as the Armenians living abroad to gather at Khorenatsi Street. According to him Daredevils of Sasoun have carried out their mission now the people should make their sacrifice worth of it.
