YEREVAN. – Taken into account the parliamentary elections in the context of the ongoing struggle over the wide range of speculations in the Mashtots Park in downtown Yerevan, sit-on-strike participants have made a statement.

“We assess the political system in Armenia as not democratic. Hence, possibilities of holding fair and free elections are minimal. The Mashtots Park is a public area and we struggle for regaining the public property. While the self-determined citizens decided on not allowing any political party to change the way of civil struggle.

As for the fact of serving foreign powers unreasonably, then it is time to realize that contacts with abroad, including exchange of intellectual and financial means, are not the monopoly of the government and oligarchs. Moreover, there is nothing shameful in it. In addition, it is Armenia authorizes and arrogant elite that serve to the foreign powers,” the statement reads.
