THIS IS CALLED HIGH TREASON
- Interview with RAZMIK ZOHRABYAN, Vice Chair of the Republican Party of Armenia

“Mr. Zohrabyan, Ter-Petrosyan continues gibing interviews to the foreign media, in an attempt to present the Armenian reality exclusively in dark colors. As an example, we can point out at least his interview to the Russian ‘Novoe Izvestia’ newspaper.”
“Such interviews are obviously addressed to the foreign readers who do not properly imagine what the situation in Armenia is like. In the preface of one of the interviews, the author informs that on April 17, the US Congress is to organize hearings devoted to the post-electoral situation of Armenia. This fact itself implies intervention in the country’s domestic affairs.
Perhaps, there was some crisis in Armenia after the presidential elections, but it was overcome. Therefore, there’s no need to make it a subject of discussions. Especially considering that it cannot, in any way, be perceived as a threat to the international community. As regards the avoidance of specifying the real causes, the disregard for the criminal manifestations and the observation of everything on the political plane, they will only create a misunderstanding in the perceptions of the international community.
In the interviews you specify, Ter-Petrosyan says that thousands of people among his proponents have been arrested. Whereas, it’s obvious that the police did not undertake any operation against the participants of the unauthorized demonstrations and marches, and they were restricted to forewarnings only. There were arrests only on March 1, ten days later, when the demonstrators incited armed confrontations with the law enforcers.
This factor is being overlooked deliberately, with the purpose of creating a false impression. No one was arrested for his political views. Even those who committed concrete criminal offences are released after serving their sentence.
The authorities do not want to restrict the freedom of their citizens without having serious grounds. Attempting to violate the constitutional order and staging a coup d’état are crimes prescribed by the Criminal Code of our country, and they can’t go unpunished. Those who perpetrated armed violence against the law enforcers and committed robbery in such situation cannot be justified on grounds of any political motivation because the fact of committing a criminal offence is obvious. These people can be considered political prisoners only by individuals pursuing political tendencies.
I think the chief organizer of all this is the first President who should have appeared behind the bars long ago. It was he that pushed the misguided and deceived crowd to criminal offences. And the fact that the violations of the public order, the clashes with the law enforcers, the lootings and robberies were committed in the pretext of the political events plays no role here. The task of the court is to thoroughly distinguish the political and criminal factors, and up to date, this has been done successfully.”
“How do you comment on the fact that L. Ter-Petrosyan, on the one hand, tries to influence the opinion of the international community through falsification and on the other hand, considers the work of the international structures imperfect.”
“During the presidential elections there observation missions were carried out by representatives of all the authoritative international organizations. In their assessments, they did, of course, point out certain flaws and mistakes; however, they considered the general course of the political developments as progress towards democracy. The first President did not, obviously, like this assessment, and he considers the international organizations as bureaucratic structures where pensioner-diplomats and young careerists work.
I see another hazard: that is, no one speaks about the clashes and the criminal offences, and attempts are made to present everything as a spontaneous popular protest. I am sure that all the demonstrations and marches were thoroughly planned, and the goal was to create an unstable situation and chaos. The chief organizer of all this was the first President. And he himself was governed by certain foreign centers.
The principal goal was not to run for election and hold victory, but rather, to stage a coup. Or, in case of a failure, to instigate civil splits and make Armenia vulnerable to the greatest maximum extent.
If the demonstrations were spontaneous, why didn’t they take place before his appearing on the square? Now he’s doing his best to maximum increase the external pressures on Armenia and to achieve the solution of the Karabakh issue in the context of the geopolitical interests rather than in the interests of the Armenian people. This is called high treason.

Another bias article from hayots ashxar, but this one his something interesting. It asserts that LTP's goal was to create "an unstable situation and chaos" My friends Razmik should take to top level military officials who were present that day, and understand that the situation could have become way more worse than it did. Ofcourse the 10 deaths are aweful, but when one looks at the masses involved, hand-made bombs, and videos of clashes, March 1 could have become a harsh day. I never accepted what the military did that day as rightful, until I spoke with an official who was there and then I understood how the military prevented themselves from being too emotionally involved. Also the footage on youtube that shows the omon shooting, is rubber bullets, this is what they say, I dont know the legitimacy of their claim

The "handmade bombs" mentioned, were PREPARED at their HOMES PRIOR crowding in the streets. KNOWINGLY Taking kids, women and elderlies where they took the bombs is CRIMINAL. LTP must be impeached for that.

Impreached? from what his life? LTP does not hold a position now, so how would you impeach him? I don't think they knowingly took kids and women, because if the people (or the military) wanted to reek havoc, it wouldn't end with 10 deaths, believe me.- ARSHAK-10
