Sefilyan: Serzh Sargsyan was distributing Marlboro cigarettes
Although the freedom fighters have been able to liberate Artsakh, they have been unable to create the state of their dreams, says Zhirayr Sefilyan, a member of the Sardarapat movement.
Together with his supporters Sefilyan is creating a new liberation movement and enlisting freedom fighters.
"We will not allow any bloodshed. Our target is not Baghramyan 26, the official seat of the Armenian president. Our aim is to form a new political stratum for people to get rid of slavish thinking," said Mr Sefilyan.
He compares the present-day Armenia with the fall of Kars and says the sooner we create a new state, the better.
"What we have today is simply an imitated state," he said.
The member of the Sardarapat movement is convinced that the ruling elite keep the army in order to increase their influence in the country, rather than to protect the borders of Armenia. "The regime is afraid of wars and will run away from the country on hearing the first shots."
Sefilyan says neither Serzh Sargsyan nor Robert Kocharyan has contributed to the Nagorno-Karabakh liberation war. "They aimed to seize power by inciting intrigues and bribing poeple. In 1992, Serzh Sargsyan attempted to give "Marlboro" cigarettes to field commanders. The following years he was already distributing guns, cars and even businesses..."
