Miasin movement presents its concept for a change of power in Armenia  and calls for protection of rights of Arsakh people  

ArmInfo. The alternative socio-political movement Miasin has unveiled its concept for a change of power in Armenia and demanded protection of the rights of the  people of Artsakh. The movement presented its stance on March 20  during a press conference held  in Yerevan at the central office of  the Democratic Party of Armenia, on the eve of a rally under the  slogan "Armenia is our home: let's oust the one who is destroying our  home."

During the press conference, Aram Sargsyan, the coordinator of the  Miasin movement and the leader of the Democratic Party of Armenia,  emphasized that the organization intends to address two key issues.  "Firstly, the issue of the return of the people of Artsakh based on  their right to self-determination and the protection of their rights,  which includes maintaining the financial support program at the  amount of "40 + 10" thousand drams. Secondly, the movement proposes  that the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) of Armenia initiate the  collection of 200,000 signatures to hold a referendum for a non-  confidence vote to the current authorities," the politician noted.

Sargsyan added that  the decision to take this action was made in  light of recent talks on concluding the so- called peace treaty  between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In this regard, he stressed the need  to change the current authorities' political line to successfully  cope with the challenges facing the country.  The leader of the  Democratic Party also explained that the initiative to hold a  referendum is aimed at depriving Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of  power through constitutional means. In turn, the representative of  the Miasin movement, Anna Ayvazyan, pointed out that about 120,000  Artsakh residents currently live without proper protection of their  rights. She noted that starting from April 1, Artsakh residents may  be deprived of the financial support program "40 + 10" thousand  drams. This will put many refugees in a desperate situation.   Ayvazyan also highlighted the government's failure to provide housing  to Artsakh residents. She mentioned former Prime Minister of Armenia  Hrant Bagratyan's intention to present a new project in the National  Assembly of Armenia to address this issue.
