ArmInfo. The Heritage Party condemns all-out violence against Armenian citizens.
The party's statement stresses that Armenia was in crisis, the reason for which was the order of Serzh Sargsyan, the de-facto prime minister and the chairman of the Republican Party, which is an observer member of the European People's Party (EPP), to arrest the deputies of the National Assembly Nikol Pashinyan, Sasun Mikaelyan and Ararat Mirzoyan, as well as hundreds of protesters who peacefully demand the establishment of an atmosphere of justice in the country and his resignation.
The forceful pressure on citizens of Armenia, which during a week throughout the country conducts acts of disobedience in full compliance with the letter and spirit of the law, the international obligations of the republic to such structures as the UN, OSCE, the Council of Europe and the EU testify to a contemptuous and all-encompassing disregard authorities to these obligations. The Party demands the immediate release of all detainees and arrested persons, and condemns all those responsible for the crime committed against the Armenian people. The party also demands the resignation of Serzh Sargsyan and formation of an interim government, holding early parliamentary elections. The Armenian court must be applied not only in relation to the Armenian Genocide or the recognition of Artsakh, but also at home. "We urge our compatriots and all opposition forces to show restraint, not to resort to provocations and never to surrender in our common struggle, which will inevitably lead to the birth of a new Armenia." Leaders come and go, and the nation in its unity is eternal, " the statement of the Heritage Party.
