    Heritage condemns attack on peaceful protesters of Liberty Square

    2008-03-01 12:54:00

    ArmInfo. 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, Heritage party says in its statement today.

    "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 collaborationâ~@~Tappeals which
    were made to their "brothers and sisters" assembled at the Liberty
    Squareâ~@~Tthis 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."
