“100th Anniversary without the Regime”opposition movement has issued a statement condemning the recent attack on civil activist Vaghinak Shushanyan. “The beating on Vaghinak Shushanyan testifies to the fact that the criminal regime is taking all measures, even using violence, to retain power.  We condemn the regime's use of the state apparatus and intimidation of citizens with the help of criminal elements. At the same time, we call on our citizens to have no confidence in law enforcement agencies and their false promises but to join  national liberation struggle of April 24, 2015, aimed at overthrowing the acting regime and restoring people’s power in Armenia. Vaghinak Shushanyan was attacked and beaten up by two unknown men in the center of Yerevan on Saturday evening. The activist said it was retribution for his statements against Serzh Sargsyan that he made during a protest near the government office earlier that week.
