YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 26, NOYAN TAPAN. If the number of those having state
thinking made 10-15 in 1988, at present, such people are a majority
and society has changed. This statement was made by RA fist President
Levon Ter-Petrosian at the mass meeting held on February 25. In his
words, Prime Minister Serge Sargsian, even if he tears himself up,
will not be able to rule over this new conscious society. According to
Levon TEr-Petrosian, the basis of that new socisty are the students,
who are the first generation of the independent Armenia. He called
the students taking part in the rally not to go to higer educational
institutions as the Freedom square is the best university for them.
RA former Prime Minister Hrant Bagratian expressed his thankfulness
to the participants of the rally in his speech for their being of
principle and inflexible. He called Bako Sahakian, the President of
the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh, the NKR Prime Minister and Archbishop
Pargev Srbazan to join the movement headed by Levon Ter-Petrosian. In
the words of Hrant Bagratian, the aim of the people struggling for
the freedom of Artsakh 20 years ago was to unite Karabakh with Armenia
and not on the contrary.
"Armenia cannot be ruled by a person, who has lived in the status
of a representative of the Armenian community and has fawned upon
the authorities of Azerbaijan: that person will wreak the negative
feelings accumulated in his soul when he was young upon our head,"
Hrant Bagratian said.
According to Suren Abrahamian, the former Minister of Internal
Affairs, the "officer" conception is a step higher than the "citizen"
one. Addressing the police, to the officers of the army and the
collaborators of the National Security Service, he said that the
Freedom square has stood and is struggling because of the inaction of
the latters. "You were in the status of holders of candles during the
falsification process of the elections. We have gathered to correct
your unconscientiousnesses," he said.
