“I shall run for presidency. This is not a mere announcement. All kinds of pressure exerted on my proponents and terror unleashed by the tax service will be deemed as a violation of citizens’ right. I assure you that they will be presented to the society and international structures,” RA first President Levon Ter-Petrossian said at the October 26 rally.

According to the first president his nomination is determined by the pressure exerted on his proponents.

“I warn Armenia’s high-ranking officials and policemen that any violence or encroachment upon citizens’ rights is a crime and sooner or later they will stand trial for their misdeeds.”

“We have started listing wrongdoers. The list is headed by Alexander Afian, Ararat Mahtessian and Nerses Nazarian.”

Levon Ter-Petrossian did not divulge two district heads and promised to give their names at the next meeting.

“The acting authorities are in deep agony. Their nervous breakdowns testify to their fear,” Ter-Petrossian said.

By the way, the first president uttered no words of repentance. “We shall still have a chance. I have always relied on people’s common sense. No matter how bitter the truth was, I have never concealed it from people. I have never repudiated promises or given empty promises. I have never suffered from populism or demagogy. I have always stuck to my principles. This kind of personality I am, believe me or not,” Ter-Petrossian said.

“Struggle till the end!” the crowd vociferated and applauded.

To note, over 35-40 thousand people participated at the rally.
