The journalists asked ANC leader Levon Zurabyan on their speaking of initiating a peace movement during the campaigns regardless of the results, whether the idea of commencing the movement still works.
He replied, “The movement is created, the ideological basis is found. There are various people that did not even have a connection with us but they already have their things to do within the movement and come up with their articles and oratorical speeches. The mighty really on March 29 demonstrated as well how many supporters we have regarding the implementation of that project. Here the further evolvements matter, forasmuch as no one should take it for granted. A heavy situation comes about. None of the issues is solved. Armenia stands before the option between war and peace and no one has taken this choice away from us. If it seems to them as if they have solved any issues via confirming the elections by falsification, they are wrong.
They have solved the problem of preserving the power in the first place, the opposition abolishment issue in the parliament has been solved as henceforth there will be opposition only controlled by them. This issue is solved. But what price has Armenia paid for that? They preserve their power by weakening Armenia and via the intention of taking it to the danger of facing more and more threats, and who benefits from it? Even the victoried so called majority with shining faces will have huge losses, but they do not know about it yet. They are still happy, they think they were able to protect their plate, to hold it in their hands and get rich remaining unpunished.” The journalists clarified whether he meant the few mandates of the opposition by saying that the opposition will be controlled or something else – Zurabyan answered: “No, directly what I say.”
The journalists asked once again – do you consider “Yelq” to be a controlled opposition? – He replied: “Go, observe, see, you understood it correctly.”
