OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA, SERZH SARGSIAN
Your Excellency, On the 9th day of April, incidentally falling the fortieth day following the blood bath that took place in the neon-lit night of Yerevan of March 1st under the watch of your predecessor, you were inaugurated President of the Republic of Armenia with much pomp and grandeur while the rest of the world held its breath. We write to you, good sir, to simply inform you as to why we all held our breath. We held our breath because we believed that in the very least you were entitled to the benefit of the doubt; that you differed both in form and substance from your predecessor, who managed to impress in neither. After all, you were the man who had been a pivotal figure in the liberation of Artsakh; a man who had outlasted countless political trifles; a man who had weathered the turbulent political climate of the 1990s without much tarnish to his good name; a man whose name would, we thought, for decades remain on our lips as one of the Founding Fathers of the second Republic of Armenia! Quite simply, we held our breath because we believed in heroes; because in these trying times, we hoped at least we could try believing in you. Today, with the benefit of two months\' worth of hindsight, Mr. President, we still believe in heroes, but sadly, he was not to be found in you. In you we simply found an extension of your predecessor, a man whose final hour deed shall forever remain cemented as one of the darkest hours of our ancient people. But, Mr. President, heroes indeed we found in the very men and women who remain indignant and determined against the illegitimate hypocrisy which calls itself the rightful government of our dear Republic. Heroes we found in the Zhirair Sefilyans, Moushegh Saghatelians, and Sasun Mikaelians of our people, men who selflessly laid their lives on the line for the liberation of Artsakh, but today find themselves imprisoned for their political views; and heroes we found in the Melissa Browns and Nanur Sefilyans of Armenia, women who stared intimidation in the eyes and loudly proclaimed \"we are not afraid!\" And yes, a hero we found in Levon Ter-Petrosian, whose return helped our people reclaim their sense of dignity and self worth, finally tossing aside the shackles of indifference which had served as the foundation for the longevity and perpetuation of the morally corrupt and ideologically bankrupt political system of the preceding ten years. You yourself are no stranger to the resolve of our people, Mr. President. History, in fact, is no stranger to the resolve of our people. Do you believe that very resolve of which you have boasted on countless occasions will prevail once more, Mr. President? We do. Sincerely, Save Armenia Action Group (SAAG)

Well written. There are 350 Million people in U.S.A. We somehow get along. There is election every 4 years and we have not had a mess as it happens in Armenia. Women are deprived from their husband only because they are imprioned. As a human being if I was running a government I would have never sleep even one night had I know the people in jail are innocent. How can we have such an issue in 21 century. We should learn from the past and learn how to resolve the problem specially that if the problem was created by the person himself. A person claiming loving the Armenia would do anything and everything to save the country and it people, and he will put the coutry's good and people good ahead of his own. God bless.- avetis wrote:
dear open minded,
I want to give you my respect for a beautiful statement said from the heart. I fully agree with your statement. Unfortunately, these people will go to any extreme just to retain their power and not end up in jail. They are totally ignorant and closed minded. These scum bags think they are better than everyone else because they have money and power. Soon we will see them resign bc the pressure is too great and be prosecuted for violating major international human rights. Payqar minchev verch!!!!!!!!

LTP is not a hero, in fact he is not even close to being a hero. He is the one through Vazgen that brought RK and SS. He is the one who sold energy to help fund the Karabagh war. LTP might be a intellectual but he is no hero. On the other hand, SS is a TURK, because only a turk can jail and then deport an Armenian War Hero like Safilian- ARSHAK-10 wrote:
Dear Mr. President. Do not listen to anyone. We are Armenians. People who can't regulate their own families in 30 years, TEACH you how to regulate a whole country in less than a month. It's the "High Noon" Armenian style. You ALONE must face everything, CONSTRUCT AND SAVE what you can, and be BLAMED for it. THIS IS US...
