YEREVAN.- Representative of Armenia’s ruling party Artak Davtyan said he used to participate in the student strikes 25 years ago.

Member of the Republican Party of Armenia commented on Monday's protest action urging the students to hold a strike for the sake of fair elections.

Davtyan said that 25 years ago reality was different, as there were no other options to express a position or voice an opinion. Now there are numerous ways for a person to express his or her views, Davtyan noted.

“If the students are confident that they are right, having no other option to express their stance, any method of their struggle must be accepted as a way of expressing position,” he emphasized.
