The former defendants for attempt to usurp power and violate
constitutional order demand resignation of Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan.

In the statement received by ArmInfo, the ex-defendants say:
‘For personal power and preservation of robbed property a group of
irresponsible and improvident people are endangering the future of
Armenia and Artsakh. By infringing the people’s right to vote you
cannot consider yourself in power of Armenia. The fact you maintain
your power through blood and violence against peaceful demonstrators
does not mean that you have broken the spirit of people’s fight
against you’. The statement was signed by Karapet Rubinyan, Suren
Surenyants, Samvel Gevorgyan, Norayr Norikyan, Khachik Simonyan, Masis
Ayvazyan, Hovhanness Ghazaryan, Gurgen Mikaelyan, Gor Sargsyan, Grigor
Manukyan, Misak Hovakimyn, Avetik Nersisyan, Khachik Gasparyan, Levik
Khachatryan, Nver Sargsyan, Samvel Haroutiunayn, Zhirayr Sefilyan,
Tigran Baghdasaryan and Hamlet Abrahamyan.
