ANC Activists’ Verdict Has a Political Implication: Styopa Safaryan

Concerning the condemnation of ANC activists, "Heritage" faction leader Styopa Safaryan believes that "The verdict given by the court is too strict and we think that the boys’ case should be reviewed. This definitely has a political implication, because if there were not any reason, the sentence wouldn’t be so severe. "Heritage" party is concerned about this issue.”
As Styopa Safaryan mentioned, the verdict is definitely associated with the pre-election period, and it is directly addressed to those who demand changes.
"I have to say that these old-fashioned methods are no longer effective, since it is no more possible to suppress any protests, and as to the launch of the Friday protests of the Congress, Styopa Safaryan thinks, that that way they do whatever they can, they believe they can get some results.
