THE RALLY PARTICIPANTS OF ALTERNATIVE TO SURPASS 50 THOUSAND
Support A1+!On March 9 the “Alternative” Public-Political Initiative held its recurrent rally opposite the Matenadaran.
“The Republic of Armenia will survive due to one person and I am that person”, Nikol Pashinyan, leader of the “Alternative” announced. He called on everybody to be guided by this motto. Nikol Pashinyan claims they will have 50 thousand people assembled near the Matenadaran during the next rally provided each participant brings 50 people with him.
“Robert Kocharyan, go away! We demand your resignation”, shouted the rally initiators and participants.
The participants claim they have been in a nightmare and the on-going rallies helped them to restore the belief and become sober.
“We are ready to do our utmost and to combat against the deeply-rooted injustice and ignorance reigning in the country”, says Lusia Gevorgyan, one of the participants.
Vahagn Khachatryan maintains that today the television only shows the interior rows OYP and CRU to make the impression that the opposition is not deprived of airtime broadcast.
But he is convinced that the expression of freedom and speech can be restored only via impeachment which is to be realised with the participation of the opposition and RA residents.
Suren Surenyants, member of the “Hanrapetutyun” Party’s board, dwelt on “some representatives of the opposition who have become tools in the hands of Robert Kocharyan and Serge Sargsyan”.
“The key to victory lies in our hope and belief. Let’s turn Armenia into a cathedral of belief. Long live to the Armenian citizens”, says Suren Surenyants.
Petros Makeyan, leader of the “Democratic Fatherland”, added that the so-called Karabakh clan involves the very Kocharyan and Sargsyan who have nothing to do with the public and rely on certain stratum of society. These oligarchs become NA deputies and form the government. “That’s why we urge them to quit as soon as possible”.
Aghasy Enqyan maintains that after the power handover their next step will be the abolition of dual citizenship.
“The quicker the power is shifted, the faster we shall be able to prevent the obstacles and secure the stability in the country.
To note, the Alternative will hold its next rally on March 16, at 5:00 p.m.
