“If I didn’t believe, I wouldn’t have come out”
Resident of Ttujur village of the Karmir region Gagik Martirosyan has been spending four nights at Freedom Square and is one of the participants of the ANC's round-the-clock sitting strike.
He says residents of Armenia's villages are leaving the homeland since they have no opportunities.
Martirosyan participated in the 2008 rallies and was at Freedom Square on March 1.
"Our victory is incessant. We have no other way. We have to fight until the end. Even though there are jobs in Yerevan, people are still leaving the country," says Gagik Martirosyan, who is an unemployed economist.
Member of the "Democratic Homeland" Party's political council Gevorg Gevorgyan has been spending four nights at Freedom Square as well.
He says all participants of the sitting strike have become friends, and the bailiffs are constantly overseeing the area to keep instigators away.
Gevorgyan says he is fighting "against assaults and so that people are able to find jobs and live a good life in their country". "These authorities are only robbing people and promoting those who are ready to join them."
Satenik has been spending three nights at Freedom Square and believes in victory. "I wouldn't have come out, if I didn't believe."
ANC leaders headed by First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan are also spending nights at Freedom Square. They tour the square, approach people staying in the tents, speak to the participants and encourage them.
