"The regime demonstrated cowardice and servility"

The relatives of Armenian political prisoners today grouped outside the Office of Prosecutor General, chanting "Freedom to political prisoners."

Though Armenian political prisoner Felix Gevorgyan was released 20 years ago, his wife and mother continue to participate in Friday protests.

"We shall struggle until the last political prisoner is freed in Armenia," said Felix's mother Eranuki Gasparyan.

The protesters are convinced that their consistent struggle will yield positive results.

"Our people ignore the illegitimate authorities and we expect similar attitude from the international community," said Anna Malkhasyan, a relative of former political prisoner Myasnik Malkhasyan.

"We shall soon reach the finish. The international community understands that tens of thousands of people would not go to the street to demand the release of criminals," Coordinator of the Armenian National Congress Levon Zurabyan told A1+.

Former political prisoner David Matevosyan says it is shameful that political prisoner Shmavon Galstyan was given only two hours to farewell his diseased mother.
"The regime demonstrated cowardice and servility. It is an inhumane decision that conflicts with the law," he said.
