ArmInfo. Zhirayr Sefilyan, the hero of the Karabakh war, who was under arrest for alleged illegal possession and use of weapons, on January 9, from the "Armavir" penitentiary, addressed an open letter to the Armenian society, where he reproached his compatriots for their indifference as to the events in the country and the fate of the members of the Sasna Tsrer.
In his address, Sefilyan noted, in particular: "While the three members of the Sasna Tsrer group continue the hunger strike more than 10 days, the people, endlessly feast for the festive New Year's tables. Armen Bilyan and Smbat Barseghyan, as a result of the hunger strike, have already reached the point where their lives are under threat, what are you waiting for? Them to have the fate of Arthur Sargsyan?, and then bury them with all the honors. While the selflessness of the latter was to cause general anger. While, we still have the same indifference. This is not the case when it is impossible to suppress the system and to force to settle a simple question about the transfer of the guys from Nubarshen to "Armavir." The members of the group proved their willingness to sacrifice their lives for the sake of their beloved people, but what did they get for this? Losing such people as Arthur Sargsyan, Araik Khandoyan, Armen Bilyan and Smbat Barseghyan, we are losing our homeland. It is time to recover from the lethargic sleep," concludes Jirayr Sefilyan.
