“After the well-known events of March 1, 2008, many activists of the national movement, including my brother and I, were arrested. On the other hand, many leaders of the national movement, including Levon Zurabyan and Levon Ter-Petrossian, were not arrested. So what…? Should we have demanded to arrest them as the leaders of the movement too?” Suren Sirunyan, the former head of Minister of Domestic Affairs Vano Siradeghyan’s security and a former member of the Armenian National Congress (ANC), said during a conversation with www.aravot.am, drawing parallels between the tragic events that had taken place at Harsnakar Restaurant and the socio-political movement caused by it.
Our interlocutor severely condemns the attitude of the Harsnakar Restaurant security, but at the same time, he thinks that political forces try to benefit from that tragedy and get dividends from it, struggling against Ruben Hayrapetyan himself and not to rule out such incidents in Armenia.
