Sergey Nigoyan’s death deceased in Maidan, in Kiev, is twice painful for Armenak Dovlatyan, President of “Green (social and ecological) Party of Armenia”, as he personally knew him, and was in touch with this young man. “A month ago, we were wandering around in Euromaidan, in Kiev, with the Armenian flag: local Armenians, Ukrainian citizens, were approaching us in excitement and talking to us. One of them was Samvel-Sergey Nigoyan, said Mr. Dovlatyan, today, in “Noah’s Ark” club, adding that after the murder, Sergey’s friends told that he had a kind of spirit in him, and was directly involved in the maintenance of order in Maidan that everything is organized, with clear actions.
Armenak Dovlatyan is sure that those standing on foot for the same of change of power in Ukraine, are fighting not only for themselves but also for the future of other post-Soviet states. “We are not talking about confrontations of primitive Russian-Western hegemony, there are deeper issues. People are just tired of living in such a condition, they do not want to have a plundering government and a dependent country; they want to have a free and independent country where they decide their country’s future. The matter is even not about the fact of either the Customs Union, or EU, rather than the existence of an independent country.
Ukraine is a country with great potentials, and these people want to live with the potentials of their country,” noted the leader of Green Party who thinks that there cannot be a civil war in Ukraine, but if confrontation with the government continues, it will turn into a war between the government and the people. Mr. Dovlatyan, stressing that Russia should be definitely separated from the Russian authorities’ brutal imperialistic policy, noted that as a result of this policy, many post-Soviet people are strained against Russia. “We are allies, we have hundreds years of relationship, but breaking this relationship and forcedly compelling people to do things causes natural resistance,” said the speaker. Drawing parallels between the events of March 1 and Maidan, Armenak Dovlatyan found similarities in inadequate operations of our and Ukrainian law enforcement. “It seems that illegal, criminal activities are encouraged by the authorities. I do not want to say primitive things that they are guided by Moscow, but it seems to have the same style, the same school, and the same handwriting.”
