Zhirayr Sefilyan: We are running out of patience

ArmInfo.We are running out of patience, one of the founders of the "Sasna Tsrer" party Zhirayr Sefilyan wrote on his Facebook page.

In particular, he noted: "Members of the Sasna Tsrer group Armen  Bilyan and Smbat Barseghyan, 10 months after the revolution, are  still under arrest. They are one of the harbingers of the revolution,  they decided to sacrifice their lives, rebelled against the genocidal  regime that seized power, while they continue to be judged by the  laws of that same regime, by false accusations of prosecutors and  investigators of the former regime.

It is at least doubtful that the authorities who became at the helm  of power after the revolution, who should be interested in solving  cases of the events of "March 1, 2008", by all their actions,  including their own, amnesty act, resembling a trap, strongly denies  the right to the uprising against the vulgar regime that took place  on March 1, 2008. And those who participated in this process are  referred to the judges who were servants of the previous regime.

As a minimum, it was possible, taking into account, at least false  information, in the case of March 1, not to believe the results of  the investigation in the case of Sasna Tsrer, and release the people  who had raised the uprising to freedom, while simultaneously  investigating the case, and also investigating all frauds which were  carried out in this case, during the investigation.

The time to quietly remain silent and calmly follow the judgment of  the rebels is over. Our patience is exhausted, if Armen Bilyan and  Smbat Barseghyan are not released, the most worthy and conscious part  of our society is forced to recognize the right to revolt and their  release. "

To note, in July 2016, armed representatives of the Sasna Tsrer group  stormed the regiment of the patrol regiment service of the Police in  Yerevan. As a result of their actions, three policemen were killed in  several days. After Nikol Pashinyan became the country's prime  minister, many members of the group were released; however, a number  of criminal cases continue to be heard in court. Two members of the  group Armen Bilyan and Smbat Barseghyan are still under arrest.  The  head of the Armenian police, Valery Osipyan, noted that he was  against the amnesty of the group members.
