The “Daredevils of Sassoun” (“Sasna Tsrer”) group spread announcement today, at 08.15 AM. Group member Varuzhan Avetisyan passed an announcement through Zaruhi Postanjyan which reads:
“Our mission of starting the “Daredevils of Sassoun” revolt is over. A nationwide rebellion has begun, and its success is a matter of a short time. In such a situation, avoiding meaningless bloodshed becomes an issue of primary importance for the “Daredevils of Sassoun.” In this matter Zhirayr Sefilyan’s point of view and negotiation mission is decisive for us, and he has already expressed his willingness to take over. We urge Serzh Sargsyan to accept our reasonable proposal, organize our meeting with Zhirayr Sefilyan and accept his negotiation mission. Otherwise, Serzh Sargsyan will bear all the responsibility for the possible bloodshed. At the same time, we encourage our people to do their best to bring our proposal into life and avoid senseless bloodshed.”
