The “Union of Freedom Fighters of the Shushi Special Battalion” NGO, has issued a statement claiming that certain “anti- national and treacherous forces” have threatened the life of Jirayr Sefilyan and have begun to persecute his political supporters.

Sefilyan serves as president of the NGO and is also a member of the Sardarapat Movement and the Pre-Parliament (Nakhakhorhrdaran) organization in Armenia.  

The NGO warns, “That those threatening the dedicated sons of Armenia are playing with fire.”

“Just like in the time of battle, we have defended and will defend our homeland and our commander,” the statement reads.
