Some 15-20 thousand gathered at Matenadaran today to commemorate the victims of March 1, 2008 disorders. Addressing the action participants Levon Zurabyan, coordinator of the Armenian National Congress, read out the names of those killed.
Taking the floor, head of the Armenian National Congress, Armenia’s first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan said that the opposition will carry on legal struggle and called to exclude the terms ‘revolution’ or ‘rebel’ form the opposition’s plans.
At that, he did not rule out that the government will fail to cope with the consequences of the global financial crisis and resign.
Noting that it’s not the time for indefinite-term protest actions, he informed that the next opposition rally will be held in May 1.
Then the action participants marched to the monument to Alexander Miasnikian and laid flowers to commemorate those killed at the site in last year’s melee.
