DO NOT BECOME A TOOL FOR IRRESPONSIBLE POLITICIANS

"Of course, patience is good, but I think that it is also time for
everybody to take a sober view of the things and realize that it
is impossible to accede to power by clenching fists. If one likes a
building, he mustn’t announce, ‘The Theatrical Square’ is my dwelling,
and now I must appear in this building.

If someone admires the building, I can give him a job in the Department
of Correspondence; let him read the letters and know what opinion
the people have about my tenure.

This is, of course, a joke, but I also have the following appeal
to the people who have gathered in the square: dear people, do not
become a tool for irresponsible politicians. It is not your game. You
will not benefit from that game; you will only suffer losses. And
the country will suffer losses as well," President ROBERT KOCHARYAN
announced yesterday.
