SADOYAN IS A "GENUINE OPPOSITIONIST"

Politics

Leader of the National Democratic Alliance (AZhD) Arshak Sadoyan hoped that Serzh Sarkissian would declare an amnesty for the people arrested after the Presidential election of February 19 who are generally deemed as political prisoners.

“Unfortunately, the President made no reference to the detainees in his yesterday’s presidential address,” Arshak Sadoyan told a press conference today.

And yet, the AZhD Leader hopes that all the arrestees will be released before the formation of the Public Council. “Well, I only mean those detained on political motivations.”

Arshak Sadoyan feels sorry that he is a mere observer in the NA ad hoc Commission looking into the occurrences of March 1 and has no right to pose questions.

Mr. Sadoyan doesn't take the formation of a commission of Armenian-Turkish historians seriously and says it will hardly be effective.

“Flowing generation change is impossible in the political domain as long as the issue of political problems and the problem of corruption are left unaddressed,” says the AZhD Leader.

Arshak Sadoyan said he is “a genuine oppositionist.” While defining the term “genuine oppositionists” Arshak Sadoyan named Vazgen Manukian, HHSh members and added, “Everyone who opposes the acting regime is an oppositionist.”
