‘VIVA MAY 1 AND ACP’
Support A1+!On May 1, Armenian Communist Party is celebrating International Solidarity Labor Day. Today, Armenian communists and little pioneers directed to the monument to Stepan Shahumyan via Mashtots avenue, Amiryan street, and Republican Square. They were marching under a Soviet music holding Soviet Armenian red flag, 'Viva Armenian Communist Party: people's only hope' and similar posters, and balloons.
As to the participants, about 1000 communist activists from different marzes were here to participate in the meeting.
A group of 60 people headed the march; they were followed by Ruben Tovmasyan, ACP central committee and ACP Young team and other party members. To note, a pioneer called Margar handed Comrade Tovmasyan ' The picture of Lenin Granny on a red flag' to express his love and respect towards ACP. All the participants had red bands on their chests. Others were holding red carnations as a ' red symbol' of Communism.
The passers-by would stop astound for a moment, then smiled them good-bye and remember their green years.
The communists did not lose time and chance to preach and make similar announcements like ' Be with communists and save Armenia!', ' Let's vote for ACP on May 12!' This is how Comrade Tovmasyan commented on the issue,' We did not make use of the advantage. Today everybody speaks about elections. It was very logical to speak about the elections especially today. Once again we wanted to attract our proponents' and members' attention and make them focus on the issue of vital necessity.'
In answer to the question whether ACP would be able to surpass the 5% election barrier in the forthcoming NA elections, Comrade Tovmasyan mentioned,” I do not assume, we are to overcome this barrier. We’ll become the opposition to care for every single stone, every single street, as it was us to create it. It was us to have built all this.”
