Zhirayr Sefilian, Commander of the Shushi special battalion will take
part in the rally organized by the Pan Armenian National Movement due
on June 20. After his release it was the first time that Sefilian had
met with journalists. "It does not make much difference whether the
rally will be held in Azatutyan Square (Liberty Square) or near the
Matenadaran. The authorities simply show their weakness by banning
rallies in Azatutyan Square", Sefilian noticed.
Concerning the June 20 rally, former commander believes: "Lots of
political problems can be solved on that day. I call all the Armenians
to partake in the rally as, I am sure, we can achieve much by our
presence. Turnover is almost done; we have only some technical problems
to solve. Opposition leaders were able to prove that they could destroy
the criminal pyramid of this regime by merely dancing in Azatutyan
Square. I am sure the opposition is able to win by holding rallies."
Sefilian stated that 1 March was too difficult for him to confront as
he was in prison and in no way could help his people. "I had declared
before my imprisonment that these authorities were too weak to yield
without shedding blood. Unfortunately I was right", Sefilian notices
with a heavy heart. He considers that people should be cautious on
20 June so that 1 March won’t be repeated.
"We must call to responsibility all those who broke the law not only
against me but also against any citizen of Armenia. I am not full of
revenge. I relieved myself of this feeling long ago since I consider
it a weakness that misleads you. But the criminals must be punished
in the name of our statehood", Sefilian concluded.
