Armenia have issued a statement, in which they demand releasing the
coordinator of the public initiative "Liberated Territories Protection"
Zhirayr Sefilian and member of the political board of the Homeland
and Honor Party Vardan Malkhasian.

carry out a military coup in Armenia, the statement authours note
that these men, who are well-known to the Armenian public, have
repeatedly presented in the press their real programs, the main
goal of which is the protection and resettlement of the liberated
territories. "Being aware of the role of the youth in prevention of
such steps by the authorities, we start a public initiative, whose main
objective is the release of Zhirayr Sefilian and Vardan Malkhasian,"
the statement reads.
