If not, Zurabyan will participate in sitting strike
ANC coordinator Levon Zurabyan is sure that the authorities will give way to pressures from the people and the Armenian National Congress and will release all political prisoners Nikol Pashinyan and Sasun Mikayelyan by May 31.
Levon Zurabyan says he had a hard time holding the people back from a sitting strike. He had to pledge them that if the political prisoners' issue remains unsolved, he would join the sitting strike on May 31.
"But I am sure there will be no need for that. The process of meeting the people's demands through dialogue is in progress," said Zurabyan, adding that this will be followed by the people's main demand for special elections and that there will be an adequate response if things don't turn out that way.
"If they negotiate normally, we will lead the process and hold special elections through normal negotiations. If not, the people will give the authorities a wake-up call," said Zurabyan.
Nevertheless, Zurabyan assured that if the authorities try to win time through tricks, they will go against that.
"Only the people's vigilance and participation allows us to have new victories and, most importantly, form a legitimate government in Armenia."
