The statement says that President Sargsyan personally will be responsible for possible bloodshed and urges to supply the group with food, water and medicine as well as medical assistance. They urged the people of Armenia to gather on Khorenatsi Street to determine the future actions.
Delivering his speech on Khorenatsi street, Founding Parliament member Alek Yenigomshyan said, to shake the movement the leadership was applying to the policy of lie. And he denied V.Balasanyan’s statement that “Sasna Tsrer” group is going to lay down the arms. Yenigomshyan also denied the statement by Vitaly Balasanyan, according to which Jirair Sefilian doesn’t demand Serzh Sargsyan’s resignation anymore, “Vitaly Balasanyan distorted the reality. I was also present during that talk and that expression is out of the context,” Yenigomshyan said.
“Firstly, the territories which are under the control of NKR, Armenia are the guarantor of both NKR territorial integrity and our physical safety, there are people in that territory, how do you imagine those people leaving? There is no such an issue. It may be discussed, put on negotiation table, however, I’m sure people living both in Armenia and in NKR, all Armenians won’t go to that step. We have previously conceded,” Vitaly Balasanyan said.
Today prior to the press conference in the building of Police patrol regiment we observed how the policemen were taking food for the members of Founding Parliament initiative and “Sasna Tsrer” group to the territory.

He stated that the rebellion is developing slowly, it’s conditioned by a range of factors—despondent condition of the people, being not used to these methods, activity of political manipulators, who, each in his turn, or maybe according to the joint plan, intend to fade another uprising and lead the country to the direction they want—to the decline.
Pavel Manukyan said, he didn’t exclude taking of new territories by his teammates.

“Russia and Turkey have many interests at the moment, not only economic, but also political, in particular, they appeared in the same camp with the West, thus, they need more active relations. Let me remind, that according to the hints of the newly appointed Turkish PM Turkey will change its policy in Syria, this has become a rather serious message for Russia, besides the message of the Turkish president to Russia,” Skakov said.
