Zhirayr Sefilyan, a veteran of the Nagorno-Karabakh war, a coordinator
of a public organization "Protection of Liberated Territories" and
commander of the Shushi battalion, urged the Armenian people to vote
for the "Dashink" (Alliance) Party. To note, Sefilyan sent the letter
from the NSC isolation ward.

"We can impede the further reproduction of the acting authorities
by joint efforts, coordinated activity and consolidation of the
opposition. We didn’t hide our stance and called on the opposition
to run for the elections in 2-3 fronts as they had failed to
unite. Surely, the scared high-level officials watched our steps
and applied drastic methods to frustrate our hopes; they isolated my
proponents and me thus hindering our activity."

Unfortunately, the oppositional forces run for the parliament under the
scenario of the acting officialdom. But we mustn’t be discouraged by
that fact. I urge the Armenian people to participate in the elections
and vote for the Dashink Party and its leader Samvel Babayan,"
Zhirayr Sefilyan’s letter reads.
