YEREVAN, MAY 10, NOYAN TAPAN. Zhirayr Sefilian, participant of
Artsakh liberation fight who is currently arrested has authorized
to submit on behalf of him next, third application for receiving RA
citizenship. Armen Aghayan, Political Secretary of Defence of Liberated
Territories public initiative, stated on May 10 at the Azdak club.

He expressed confidence that from information received by them lately
"they form an impression that someone has either already made or
wishes to make a political decision on banishing Z. Sefilian from
Armenia." In A. Aghayan’s words, this is absolutely unacceptable
by the organization and the organization will try to prevent such
decision by all means. In his words, "the authorities seem to have
understood that by keeping Zhirayr Sefilian in arrest only in the
preelection period they are not solving their main problem."
