Arshak Sadoyan’s Forecasts
These days, Arshak Sadoyan, chairman of National Democratic Federation,
and his party members wander in the streets of Yerevan, informing
people about the rally envisaged in the yard of Matenadaran. This time
Sadoyan invited to the rally not only common citizens but also all the
political forces and the representatives of foreign and international
organizations in Armenia. Achieving no success in the discussions
unfolded by the coalition and the ruling parties, Mr. Sadoyan decided
to get the answers to unsolved issues during public discussions. He
is also sure that the authorities are engaged in fakery and people
can get no true information from the speeches of the authorities’
representatives on TV. Mr. Sadoyan hopes to inform the people by
means of the rally.
In the course of the press conference, Mr. Sadoyan touched upon the
main issues he is concerned about and is going to inquire from the
political figures. He is going to ask Mr. Pryakhin, OSCE ambassador,
whether it is true that the human rights and the freedom fixed in
the constitution can be extinguished.
As for the referendum, Mr. Sadoyan advises to vote against it,
promising to inform about the details during the rally. Mr. Sadoyan
also forecasted that the referendum will provoke “a colorful
revolution” in Armenia.
