The only way to get out of the current state in the country is to
restore the spirit that our people had during the Battle of Sardarapat,
say Jirair Sefilyan, Vardan Khachatryan and Tigran Khzmalyan who
declared the creation of the new "Sardarapat" movement.
According to Vardan Khachatryan, the people have lost their
resistance and proof of that was the signing of the Turkish-Armenian
protocols. Tigran Khzmalyan evaluated the current situation by one
word-"Sardarapat". "We are seeing the emergence of the danger the
Armenian Genocide in progress. The great powers that stay silent or
continue their policies with indifference become part of that crime."
Sefilyan is certain that the protocols would never have been signed if
our authorities were not that weak. "The Turkish-Armenian protocols
are the result of March 1. What we have today is the effect of the
degenerated situation in the country. Our movement is going to be
aimed at eliminating the causes. Jirair Sefilyan underlined that the
creation of the new movement doesn’t imply that he and his "Armenian
Volunteers" Union is going to leave the Armenian National Congress.
"We will not leave the camp headed by Ter-Petrosyan. He has done a
lot, but why are we demanding so much from one person? We will never
break the unity of the tens of thousands of people. Everyone must do
all that they can."
As far as the viewpoint according to which the "Sardarapat" movement
is turning into the repetition of the ARF protests, Sefilyan sees
nothing in common. He only brought up one example to prove that the
ARF is not sincere.
"If the ARF was aimed at putting an end to Serzh Sargsyan’s treacherous
acts, the most civilized way would be to collect the signatures of
one million people and put them on Sargsyan’s table. In that case,
Serzh Sargsyan would have resigned and would not put on a show abroad."
The "Sardarapat" movement is open for all those who are concerned with
the current state in the country. Sefilyan promised to keep everyone
updated about each step to be taken by the movement.
No mood for concessions in Artsakh
Commander of the Shushi squadron Jirair Sefilyan is certain that there
are no moods for concessions in Artsakh. "Even the political elite
of the NKR will not dare to make any concessions," said Sefilyan to
"A1+". He has no doubt that Serzh Sargsyan will the people of Artsakh
will stand up to fight if Serzh Sargsyan makes any attempt to take
any such action.
