PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO "WHYs"

"The fault of the recent events rather lies with the authorities than
with the police as the police executed the authorities’ orders,"
Yerevan citizen Hrachuhy Mesropian said to A1+ when the latter was
conducting polls in the capital streets to know public opinion about
the country’s political scene.
Hrachuhy Mesropian rules out any dialogue between the conflicting
sides as "one cannot conclude an agreement with those who have taken
arms against peaceful people."
Bagrat Dalalian thinks that the situation is stable in the country as
"no weapon was used against demonstrators and there was no breach
of law."
Some respondents note that our enemies, namely Azerbaijan, try to
benefit from the current state in Armenia and attack the country. "The
authorities must realize their plans and take measures.
The authorities violate human rights by detaining the participants of
"political walks." Citizens do not exercise their right to walk freely
in their country," says Lyova Hakobian.
Hakob Shamlian believes that everything will change in Armenia and
people will live in a country they have longed for. "I exclude a
dialogue with the authorities who take arms against champions of
liberty."
Angela Mamikonian thinks there will be more clashes if the sides
don’t compromise.
Others say people went outdoors to restore their rights and freedom.
"Our people want to know the answer to many questions.
Only in case they achieve their goal they will leave in peace and
safety," Aram Khalatian concluded.
