SDHP Central Committee’s Announcement About the Current Situation in Armenia

The Social Democrat Hunchakian Party Central Committee  on behalf of its worldwide members and supporter expresses its concern about the Ongoing processes in Armenia.

The SDHP Central Committee considers  that the masses who are occupying the streets is the consequence of a stagnant system which,  over the years, has led to  social injustices, and emigration has become a national  security threat.

SDHP Central Committee salutes  Armenian civil society’s new awakening  and the younger generation’s determination to stand up for their rights. At the same time, the SDHP Central Committee considers that it is unacceptable any  possibility of  the use of brutal force against peaceful demonstrators and calls upon  police forces to show maximum restraint.

The Hunchakian Party regards  that  the internal political crisis in the country should be solved through political means and hopes that the meeting between  Serzh Sarkisian and Nicol Pashinyan will be   the first step toward that goal.
