In support of the citizens holding sit-in strike against electricity price increase on Baghramyan Avenue, Out of Our Pocket civil initiative, which has joined No to Plunder initiative, on July 5 at 13:00 holds an automobile march. “There is mainly one objective, so that this oppressive regime won’t think that only several thousands of people are protesting, who periodically gather on Baghramyan Avenue and the issue concerns only them. They will see on Sunday that much larger masses are interested in the issue and I am sure that our joint victory isn’t far. For today the achievement of No to Plunder initiative is already a victory, but we are planning to include larger layers in this struggle,” announces member of Out of Our Pocket initiative, member of the Founding Parliament Vardan Hakobyan by adding that it isn’t a disobedience automobile march but a call for joining the struggle. During these days opinions are expressed by different people that new forces have appeared, which are trying to assume the role of the movement’s pioneer and attribute the success of No to Plunder initiative to them. In this context the name of the Founding Parliament is also circulated. In reply to the question by “A1+”, what is the aim of such statements and how will you comment on it, Vardan Hakobyan highlighted: “Such statements are trying to undermine the role of the youth in this movement, which doesn’t correspond to the reality, and transfer the issue into another platform. We have announced for many times that in general we are the pioneers in all the political and civil issues, but not the organizers. I myself have asked the young people for many times how I can help them, but never to lead. The FP fully trusts the youth, flexibility of their mind, sincerity and determination. If the FP needed to lead the movement, it would initiate itself. We just stand by them. During June 28 incident we just announced that even if the policemen tried to settle everything by using force, we were ready to stay there and keep the positions of Baghramyan by calling on the society not to succumb to the provocations, which had been planned by the authorities.”
