Tigran Karapetyan Ready to Be a Sacrifice for the People

A group called the “National Front” established by People’s Party leader Tigran Karapetyan held a forum today in a half-empty meeting room in the Government of Armenia building.

Ishkhan Tovmasyan, chairing the forum, presented the National Front’s call to citizens of Armenia, as well as urgent suggestions to authorities. In its call, the National Front stated that they wish to establish a foundation of a system which is aimed at restoring democracy and social justice, the strengthening of independent statehood and the increasing of authority, and the establishment of stability within the country.

During his address, Karapetyan stated that power is not in the hands of the people, since the authorities are unable to ensure justice and they want this power to leave. “We are on the brink of chaos. It’s been 20 years — what are they negotiating about in the Karabakh issue? What are the authorities and opposition dialoging about? We, in a serious way, in a very serious way, want our country to be more just and here I place importance on the justice being social, socialist,” he said.

According to the party leader, they want to create a country where oligarchs won’t have access to state authorities.

Karapetyan closed his remarks with the following statement: “We will always be by your side and if there’s a need to make a sacrifice, we will.”
