“When we often say that October 27 was specially planned, eventually it is not yet proven. It’s another matter that as the Bible says, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. What Nairi Hunanyan had done and what he was saying, I did and opened the way, follow me. It is approximately the same now, we did, now, the people, it is your turn,” – so said Ruben Babayan, the artistic director of Hovhannes Tumanyan Puppet Theater, in an interview with AZravot.am, describing the operations of the armed groups attacking the Erebuni Patrol Police Regiment.
According to him, the “totalitarian thinking wishes to be a leader, to die for people, what you do not to speak on behalf of you, the surrounding but the people, this means to disgrace people first of all. This is the perception of 5000 limited Facebook people when you speak and communicate only with your supporters, then it is followed by the second move, you do not deserve me, you deserve this government because you did not follow me. Insulting words are voiced, which we often hear today in the squares, you are sheep, you are grazers and so on. It seems that therewith you can awaken the human spirit. Nothing happens by insulting the dignity. For me, right or left does not matter if they function in the same way.” Ruben Babayan opines that the fight for the power is among the people having the same value system, “The whole question is not in changing the value system but simply to change the places. They are surprised why things do not go further. What do you suggest apart from urgently withdrawing the scoundrels? So what comes next? We all are people, we need to see a plan, we must see to what extent he who offers this plan is trustworthy.”
To our observation that the supporters of “Founding Parliament” say, well, then stay and bleed, every day a soldier is dying on the border, Ruben Babayan replied, “There are dangerous things that come from this fully failed education system.” The “Founding Parliament” is saying to create a transitional government consisted of the people, Ruben Babayan responded, “The most demagogic thing is to cast everything on the people, “My dear people, we will do what you decide”. Democracy is not the will of the majority but the right of the minority. All these movements have neglected the minority, give us power and we will become the majority.”
Deputy Chairman of “Heritage” party, Armen Martirosyan, believes that it is absolutely wrong to compare the member of the “Founding Parliament” with Nairi Hunanyan, “There are a lot of contradictions, first of all, Nairi Hunanyan had gone with a group and with a specific task. For me, it is clear and the investigation has shown it. All those who were entitled to take on the authority in the absence of the president were absent. He was earmarked shooting unarmed people. It did not look like a skirmish with victims.”

Armen Martirosyan assures that “they have not said that they are coming to power, they have said to create people’s trusted government. They were saying, when Zhirayr Sefilyan is released, they will hold extraordinary elections. Of course, this is not the best way, this is a way in despair, this is a move of not having a way out…” How right it is to follow the armed group, Armen Martirosyan replied, “The rebellion of Spartacus was to follow the armed person, the slaves were following him to be free.” He said that the activities of the armed group of “Founding Parliament” are not terrorism for him, “The problems that they put forward are political rather than personal, this is not terrorism.”
To our observation that the Islamists do not also solve personal problems, Armen Martirosyan countered, “There is no verge comparing Pavlik Manukyan and the terrorists. The Islamists can blow up a child, they are killing innocent people. While here, they have not killed any innocent person, they collided with police. They are constantly showing their attitude. They do not make money, while the terrorists make money.”
