YEREVAN, ARMENIA – Gor Sargsyan, Chairman of the ARF Youth Organization of Armenia stated in an interview to Yerkir Media on Friday that “the act [by the Sasna Tsrer’s] of desecrating the flag of Artsakh was not a surprise for me, knowing their type, and the life they have lived.”
Sargsyan hurried to Yerevan’s French Square with other activists when he heard that the “Sasna Tsrer” terrorist group, also known as the National Democratic Axis, had painted the flag of Artsakh raised by the participants of the April 5 rally.
“I am referring particularly to Jirayr Sefilian․ That man has betrayed his oath, betrayed his own past, and betrayed his comrades-in-arms. And it is clear what his followers should be”, added Sargsyan.
Sargsyan challenged Sefilian’s followers and expressed that desecrating the Artsakh flag is not the way to assert that “Artsakh is Armenia, period.“
“There was the April war, there was the last war, where were they? There was not a single person from Sasna Tsrer participating in the defense of Arstakh”, added Sargsyan.
