Heritage Condemns

1 March 2008   For Immediate Release

Yerevan-With a brutality that is characteristic of the incumbent Armenian authorities and in a severe violation of the provisions laid down by the country’s constitution and the international Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the police, in the early hours of today. attacked the peaceful protesters of Liberty Square.

They dispersed the thousands of participants who have been rallying in the past ten days. According to the preliminary reports, there are numerous injured, several casualties as well as countless people whose whereabouts are not known. 
 
The Heritage Party deplores this modus operandi of communicating with the people solely by the use of brutal force.  The rulers of today have once again placed themselves beyond the law and confirmed their tyranny  to the entire world.  
 
The disgraceful presidential elections, recently held with an unprecedented number of law violations, is subsequently followed by this crime which the current administration committed against its own people. In view of this tragedy, it would be meaningless to now speak about the establishment of a legitimate presidential institution in Armenia. It is beyond any doubt that such atrocious methods will bring forth huge problems for the country in terms of meeting its foreign and domestic challenges.  
 
Against the backdrop of the ruling administration’s appeals for collaboration-appeals which were made to their “brothers and sisters”  assembled at the Liberty Square-this abhorring action also stands as a vivid example of the dual ethics by which the current administration is governed.
 
Heritage urges the free citizens of Armenia to stand firm against brutal force and to continue their fight for civil rights and human dignity. Our country deserves a legitimate government that enjoys public trust, and the shared spiritual desire and the justified struggle of the people will ultimately give birth to such a government.
