YEREVAN. - Armenian freedom fighter, famous “Sasun” detachment commander and founder of “Civil Initiative” Sasun Mikaelyan proposed to found a structure that will protect the safety of freedom fighters in the state, Armenian News - NEWS.am reports.

Mikaelyan made his announcement on Saturday in “Yerablur” pantheon, where Armenian freedom fighters and military heroes are laid to rest.

“If an incident happens that involves attack on the freedom fighters, let us do something, let us organize a protest, block a street, stand at the government, in order to prevent such incidents. It’s a shame, I am ashamed, enough is enough guys. We are guys, we are not like these ‘girls’,” Sasun Mikaelyan said commenting on those who attacked freedom fighters in Armenia. “We, the veterans, have brought our nation to independence. We are here, in front of our martyrs, to report about what we have done to protect their heritage. If a [police] commander threatens to cut one’s ears off (for expressions against the country president - NEWS.am), I promise to cut such commander’s ears off as we do with dogs.”

According to Mikaelian, the political forces divide fighters, while the freedom fighters should be united.

“I have come today to ask you that we leave this political prostitutes alone and be united” he said.
