YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 28, NOYAN TAPAN. If the West does not respond to
this national movement, "Europe will betray itself, the principles
it advocates, democracy, legal state, Voltaire, Diderot, Goethe,
Beethoven, the European and Western civilization," the former
presidential candidate Levon Ter-Petrosian stated at the February 28
rally in Freedom Square.
According to him, widespread arrests and searches are being formulated
as disclosure of a coup d’etat led by him. "They find two cartridges
in the house of Seryozha Siradeghian, put them on my pre-election
programs, take photos, and it is clear that Seryozha’s house is the
most important headquarters of a coup d’etat of L. Ter-Petrosian,"
the first Armenian president said.
In his words, the authorities are terrified at "our mobilization and
movement which is unifying day by day, and all arrests and searches
pursue only one purpose". However, according to him, the authorities
cannot do anything because "our people is mad and the more people
are arrested, the more will come to rallies". "I am the maddest
person. No native of Karabakh can be a rival to a native of Musa Ler,"
L. Ter-Petrosian stated.
