The opposition Homeland Salvation Movement is a nationwide movement aimed at a change of government in Armenia and has clearly outlined its program, the coalition’s candidate for interim prime minister, Vazgen Manukyan, told Yerevan Today on Thursday.

He did not rule out the possibility of popular revolt in the country amid the continued refusal of the current authorities to step down.

“But this is an extreme step, which may or may not be taken. The incumbent authorities must leave immediately. I am afraid that one day you will wake up and see that Syunik has been surrendered [to Azerbaijan], therefore I urged all to gather at the Liberty Square tomorrow,” the opposition leader said.

Manukyan noted their agenda has changed in a sense that the clauses of a secret document concerning Armenia’s borders in Syunik Province have been disclosed and it remains unknwon whether or not there are other secret documents signed by the authorities.
