STEPAN DEMIRCHIAN: “STRUGGLE FOR DEMOCRACY REQUIRES UNITING OF
EFFORTS”
YEREVAN, APRIL 14, NOYAN TAPAN. “Just a year passed from the day when
the illegal administration resorted to violations to prolong its
inglorious power. We want to remind, that it is impossible to keep
power with bayonets for a long time,” Stepan Demirchian, the leader of
the “Ardarutiun” (Justice) faction stated during his speech at the
April 13 forum. “The past period showed the absolute failure of this
administration,” the speaker mentioned, expressing confidence that
both foreign and internal policy of Armenia had failed. According to
Demirchian, violations must be convicted by everybody regardless of
political veiwpoints and party membership. Meanwhile, some political
forces which made a blind eye to violations conducted against the
people, today speak about future fair elections, public solidarity and
cooperation. “These conversations are false because if we want to hold
fair elections in future then falsifiers and persons conducted acts of
violation must certainly be called to account,” he emphasized. Stating
that removing of the current authorities is “a fatal necessity”,
Demirchian emphasized that this is the problem of the whole community
and a result can be reached with the means of constant struggle which
must be led by responsible political forces. “We are sure that finally
our society will win the struggle for the future, and Armenia will
develop in democratic way, rule of law will be established. A
pre-condition for this is removing of the present administration, and
this must be reached with joint efforts,” the speaker stated.
Emphasizing the necessity of consolidation, Demirchian stated that it
must be “not around lie and false but around justice”. Demirchian
mentioned in his interview to journalists that new proposals, which
must be still discussed, were represented at the forum. According to
him, the forum showed that different political forces are ready to
cooperate. “It is clear that struggle for democracy requires uniting
of efforts, which we have seen today: other issues will be discussed
by working order,” Stepan Demirchian stated.
