THE OPPOSITION IS MAKING CHANGES

Politics

Although the rally on September 15 was permitted, there was an unprecedented amount of policemen standing on the streets of Yerevan. Press speaker of the Armenian National Congress Arman Musinyan stated today that according to their information, there were police subdivisions from all provinces, except the Syunik Marz and there was a lot of aggression.

“Before the rally there were violent acts, attacks on young activists and an evident portrayal of aggression. It became clear to us that the authorities intended on committing provocative acts and literally massacre the citizens. Of course, we did not commit any provocative acts. The national movement was satisfied with the rally and did not organize a march”, stated Arman Musinyan and added that the roots of terrorist acts can be traced to the government.

Musinyan assured that that makes the opposition “make some changes in its strategy”, but claimed that that doesn’t mean less activism. In regard to foreign policies, the press speaker noted that the national movement is concerned with a couple of policies, such as the rumors about the change in format of the OSCE Minsk Group and Turkey’s intermediary role, the statement made by Turkey’s president regarding Serzh Sargsyan’s decision to hand over the seized territories and the fact that the RA government has given its consent to the proposal to form a committee of Armenian and Turkish historians.

Musinyan stated that the authorities believe that there is no need to change the format, but the problem is that a statement has already been made. However, there is information regarding the signing of unimportant documents, which goes to show that Turkey will have active participation in the Karabakh conflict negotiations process.
