ArmInfo.The Armenian French organizations (CCAF) made a statement on the internal political situation in Armenia. The statement received in ArmInfo says that for ten days the popular movement has been shaking Armenia, demanding the resignation of the Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan. "We fully believed that dialogue will be established between the parties, but the detention of MP Nikol Pashinyan demonstrated an undemocratic turn in the management of this crisis," the statement says.
At the same time, it is stressed that the detention of Pashinyan will lead to an uncontrolled rupture of the political process. "Striving for the rule of law, the democratic development of the country and sensitivity to the suffering of its people, the CCAF asks the authorities to immediately release Pashinyan." The authorities are strongly encouraged to refrain from violence against the population and strictly observe the Constitution of the country's parliamentary system adopted in a referendum in 2015. Faced with the seriousness of the situation that raises the question of the legitimacy and representativeness of the current authorities, the CCAF believes that only dialogue between the parties can bring back social peace and confidence, "the statement says.
