On the occasion of Army Day, opposition leaders laid wreaths today
near the memorials of soldiers who died in the Artsakh war. Leader of
the People’s Party of Armenia Stepan Demirchyan considers the Armenian
Army as the most functional structure of the Third Republic of Armenia.
Stepan Demirchyan first congratulated the families of freedom fighters
and those who contributed to the development of the army and are
currently deprived of their liberty for their political views.
Demirchyan underscored that the problems concerning the army must
not be forgotten today. "The problems must be eliminated."
Stepan Demirchyan sadly mentioned that the current authorities are
using the army to solve their own problems. "The use of the army
against the people must be excluded in any case. Those who brought
the army against the people in March 2008 must be brought to justice."
The leader of the People’s Party of Armenia finds that applying force
against the people for political motives first and foremost destroys
the people’s trust in the army. "Generally, it is impossible to have
trust in a country where the authorities are not established through
normal elections. Many issues will be solved on their own in the case
of free and fair elections."
