Our assembly is for those for whom the solutions offered by the two poles are illogical. This is what head of the executive body of Citizen’s Decision Party Suren Sahakyan told reporters before today’s assembly at Mashtots Grove in Yerevan.

“Our actions will, in their nature, be similar to various civic and political actions that have been successful in Armenia in the past. Our goal is to gather people for whom the mutually exclusive solutions offered by the two poles are illogical. After the assembly, citizens will return to politics, the streets and participate in political processes,” Sahakyan stated.

According to Sahakyan, the fact that even the ruling party is incapable of gathering over 10,000 people for a rally attests to the fact that there is a lot of political apathy.

“After the end of this initiative, we will see people coming out to the streets and defending their right to make decisions,” Sahakyan added.

According to Sahakyan, the statement that the General Staff of the Armed Forces made, calling on Nikol Pashinyan to resign, can’t even be considered an attempted military coup.

“That’s not the way a military coup is organized. A statement on a military coup is made when there are tanks on the streets and the political authorities are paralyzed. I don’t really see a danger of military coup because the army consists of soldiers, not army generals, and those soldiers need to receive an order to come out to the streets. Of course, there will be major political developments since this situation must be resolved, and the situation has remained the same for three months because nobody has offered a way out of it,” Sahakyan added.
