The Union of NSS Reserve Officers NGO praised the Armenian opposition’s decision to change the tactics of its protest movement and dismantle the tents pitched in central Yerevan as an appropriate tactical move.
It enabled the resistance movement to reorganize and continue with new impetus, they said in a statement on Friday.
“Incidentally, the Union of NSS Reserve Officers NGO warned about the problems relating to the movement and stressed the need for their immediate solution back on May 27,” the retired officers said.
“Obviously, the movement coordinator, Ishkhan Saghatelyan, correctly assesses the situation and makes adequate decisions. He and his supporters are honest with the members of the movement – the people. They are waging a selfless and determined struggle, as evidenced by the rally scheduled for June 18,” they stated, urging all to join it.
“We would like to remind the authorities once again that it is impossible to maintain their grip on power through repressions for a long time,” reads the statement.
