ArmInfo. The Civic Contract party condemns the arrest of members of the party's board, NA deputies Nikol Pashinyan, Ararat Mirzoyan and Sasun Mikaelyan and the use of physical force against them, which is a gross violation of international norms and the country's Constitution providing for the application of immunity status to parliamentarians.
The party's statement stresses that the policy chosen by Serzh Sargsyan and the Republican Party contradicts the principles of democracy and the rule of law, and does not proceed from the interests of the Armenian people. All the actions of the authorities of the country will lead to opposition, and may lead to a threat to the future of Armenia. The party appeals to Serzh Sargsyan and the Republican Party to return to the negotiating table for discussions on issues related to the resignation and transfer of power. From the law enforcement agencies of the country, the party demands to immediately release all those persons, and act within the framework of international agreements ratified by Armenia.
