    WOMEN'S UNION OF DEFENCE OF LIBERATED TERRITORIES TO APPLY TO RA
    PRESIDENT WITH DEMAND TO RELEASE ZHIRAYR SEFILIAN


    YEREVAN, MARCH 2, NOYAN TAPAN. The Women's Union of Defence of
    Liberated Territories demands not only releasing the Coordinator of
    Defence of Liberated Territories initiative, Zhirayr Sefilian, but
    also granting him RA citizenship. As Union member Julietta Yeremyants
    declared at the March 2 press conference, the anniversary of
    foundation of Armenian Army is an occasion to stop legal and political
    persecution of Z. Sefilian, as well as his companion-in-arms,
    participant of liberation struggle Vardan Malkhasian. In her words,
    the 15th anniversary of formation of Armenian Army is marked solemnly
    in these days, for which the Armenian people is indebted to heroes of
    Artsakh liberation struggle who liberated Artsakh with their great
    devotion. "Today power representatives go to Yerablur to pay the
    tribute of their respect to the memory of perished freedom-fighters,
    but they have forgotten the live heroes, as the presence of the
    latters impedes them," J. Yeremian said. At the same time she said
    that today they heroize Ramil Safarov in Azerbaijan who has killed the
    Armenian officer with an axe, while in Armenia they imprison national
    heroes with shady and ungrounded accusations. Publicist Tsvetana
    Paskaleva said that they do not receive her in Karabakh in the recent
    six years as she had the courage to meet with Samvel Babayan when the
    later was in prison. In her words, the Karabakh authorities even
    declared that "Paskaleva is their enemy." "All doors are closed in
    front of me, even media, as I dared show in documentaries real heroes
    having fought in Artsakh and not generals who even have not taken part
    in the liberation fight. And the real heroes are Samvel Babayan,
    Zhirayr Sefilian, Komandos and Arkady Karapetian, thanks to which
    Shoushi was liberated," T. Paskaleva said. The Union members declared
    that they are going to apply to RA President, Prime Minister and Head
    of National Security Service Gorik Hakobian with the demand to release
    Z. Sefilian and V. Malkhasian.
