Sadly, it makes sense...

“Sasoun Mikayelian, Myasnik Malkhasian, Hakob Hakobian, Smbat Ayvazian, Gagik Jhangirian, Mushegh Saghatelian, Husik Baghdasarian, Hovik Harutyunian, Ashot Zakarian and other yerkrapahs, who regularly visited Yerablur on May 8, were not able to pay respect to their dead friends today. They will have to spend the day under arrest.”

“Այսօր Եռաբլուր չայցելեցին ամեն տարի մայիսի 8-ին իրենց զոհված մարտական ընկերներին հարգանքի տուրք մատուցող մի շարք երկրապահներ՝ Սասուն Միքայելյանի, Մյասնիկ Մալխասյանի, Հակոբ Հակոբյանի, Սմբատ Այվազյանի, Գագիկ Ջհանգիրյանի, Մուշեղ Սաղաթելյանի, Հուսիկ Բաղդասարյանի, Հովիկ Հարությունյանի, Աշոտ Զաքարյանի եւ մյուսների գլխավորությամբ: Նրանք այս օրը կնշեն մեկուսարաններում:”

For those who don’t already know, the word Yerkrapah comes from Yerkir (Country) + Pah (Keeper/Defender), they are known as the Freedom Fighters. And now, directly because of the Kocharyan-Sargsyan regime, many are either imprisoned or buried.
In an odd way, this actually makes sense.

Someone who imprisons or kills a Keeper of the Country is a Destroyer of the Country.
Someone who imprisons or kills a Freedom Fighter is one who fights for Oppression.

And that is exactly what Sargsyan has done, and continues to do.

I don't see what else serj and koch could do to prove who they are and what is it that they are doing in Armenia. Each step taken by them proves that.

is your "1.5 million + >8" really supposed to mean that you equate the people killed on march 1 with genocide victims?

I mean, does anyone seriously equate these two events? LTP may be crazy for pushing people to hate so much and arm themselves looking for a fight, but I don't understand the connection to a genocide.
