MESSAGE TO PEOPLE OF ARMENIA
Lragir, Armenia
Dec 24 2007
On the eve of the presidential election 2008 several dozens of
political forces and NGOs of Armenia have come together and decided
to support the first president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan.
Political parties, NGOs, intelligentsia, freedom fighters, businessmen,
citizens of different occupations with different ideologies and
political approaches have come together to support Levon Ter-Petrosyan.
This unprecedented unification of the past few years is based on the
sense of responsibility for the state and people, and worry for the
future of the country.
The government of Kocharyan and Sargsyan has established a bandit
regime in Armenia, which perceives power as a means of robbing the
country and people.
As a result of the imperfect foreign policy of the bandit regime
Armenia has been left out of regional economic programs and has
appeared in international isolation, turning into a third world
country.
Nagorno-Karabakh was deprived of the only internationally recognized
status as a party in the talks. The international community has
stopped acknowledging the aspirations of the people of Artsakh for
self-determination.
The economy of the country is exposed to collapse, artificial
monopolies suffocate free entrepreneurship, export is decreasing and
import is growing, consumer prices are soaring.
A real khanate system of relations has been set up in Armenia which
contradicts to the mentality of the Armenian people. Fear, doubt,
insecurity, total violation of human rights and dignity of citizens
cause a dramatic growth of migration.
The freedom-loving people of Armenia cannot bear the existence of the
bandit regime any more, because it leads our fatherland to destruction,
deprives our children of faith in their future.
The purpose of the forces which have come together around Levon
Ter-Petrosyan is to restore people’s faith in their strength, establish
the rule of citizens, strengthen Armenia, reach the international
recognition of Karabakh.
We are convinced that Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s victory in the presidential
election 2008 is the only way to achieve qualitative changes. Levon
Ter-Petrosyan is the only candidate who is able to bring together
the forces which worry about the future of the country, protect the
choice of people and contribute his immense political experience to
the welfare of Armenia, Karabakh and the Armenians worldwide.
Dear compatriots,
A popular movement has emerged in Armenia the determination of which
will be rewarded by victory. It will be the victory of every citizen of
the Republic of Armenia. The bandit regime is in panic. Its desperate
efforts to keep people in fear are doomed to failure. The Armenian
people are in a state of civil wakening. Nothing can prevent the
triumph of the will of people. We call on every citizen of the Republic
of Armenia to join the popular movement, contribute to the victory
of people for the sake of our responsibility for the next generation.
Victory to Armenia,
Victory to people,
Victory to Levon Ter-Petrosyan.
THE REPUBLIC CONGRESS OF PARTIES, NGOs AND CIVIL INITIATIVES SUPPORTING
LEVON TER-PETROSYAN
