Rustam Gasparyan: People should unseat Serzh Sargsyan: There is no other option
At the conference of ‘non-governing’ forces organized by Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK), Gagik Tsarukyan announced that the ‘ball is in the court of the government.’ Aravot.am has asked BHK lawmaker Rustam Gasparyan to explain Tsarukyan’s statement. What is Serh Sargsyan expected to do? Is he supposed to fulfill the 12-point demands of the opposition forces to prevent people from holding street demonstrations? “Should Serzh Sargsyan have any intention to fulfill the demands he would have done it long ago. We do not have any expectations from Serzh Sargsyan. People should stand up and unseat him through rallies. There is no other option,” he said. When asked what way of struggle they suggest if they exclude bloodshed, violence, and Maidan, Mr Gasparyan said, “Was there any bloodshed when the Communist system collapsed? No, there wasn’t. People stood up for their rights and pushed for Communists’ resignation. It was a critical moment and the Communists stepped down.
