ArmInfo.The hero of the Artsakh war Zhirayr Sefilyan, arrested on charges of illegal possession, acquisition and distribution of arms and ammunition, made an open letter from the "Armavir" penitentiary.
The letter reads in part: "I appeal to political and cultural figures, civil activists who are aware of the irrelevance of the current situation in Armenia and are considering or are already taking steps to prevent the impending catastrophe." The Sasna group, formed in recent years that where hopeless and in gray atmosphere managed to win the love of our people. This is a huge achievement, a moral and psychological victory of national importance. Therefore, it is necessary not only to preserve this love, but also to use, it is necessary to unite the social and political activists in order to raise people and start a struggle, which is why the demand for the release of members of the Sasna Tsrer group (arrested on charges of seizing the Patrol Service of the Armenian Police in July 2016) can and must become a factor the consolidation and the beginning of the liberation movement, in parallel, the government of the people's trust must be formed, which in one way or another should contribute to the resignation of Serzh Sargsyan from the post of president and withdrawal from the echelon of the power of the elite of the Republican Party ".
Further, Sefilyan lists the most urgent issues for the Armenian people - the reunion of Artsakh to the RA, the "decolonization" of Armenia, the creation of the Kur-Araks Republic, the adoption of a new Constitution, the establishment of democracy and the constitutional order, etc. <These issues can be coordinated and solved exclusively together with the members of the Sasna Tsrer group by creating a government of people's trust. The uprising and justification of the members of Sasna Tsrer will open the way for the realization of these tasks, this will make it possible to overthrow the power of the robbers and create a national system of government. Without Sasna Tsrer, any opposition initiative that calls for freedom will not yield any result, will serve the colonial system and exacerbate our pressing problems. Given all of the above, I urge the release of members of Sasna Tsrer and all political prisoners and a national movement to create a government of popular trust. Starting this process, it is necessary to take into account all possible methods of imposing the will of the people of the colonial administration and to be ready for any development of events. And if necessary, respond violently to violence," the letter says.
