GALUST SAHAKIAN ENCOURAGES TER-PETROSSIAN’S WITHDRAWAL
Support A1+!“The police ruined the intentions of opposition,” declared Deputy Chairman of the Republican Party Galust Sahakian commenting on the consent of the police to hold the rally of June 20 at the Matenadaran square.
He was sure the opposition intended to cause conflicts.
“Opposition leaders neglected the presence of about 2000 people and started the rally at 8:00 p.m. instead of 6:00 p.m. It was a poorly-organized rally assembled from portions of previous public meetings,” Galust Sahakian expressed his viewpoint in the “Pastark” Club overlooking the fact that the rally was delayed because the police hindered the opposition to install the necessary equipment.
“Levon Ter-Petrossian will leave his position to more constructive opposition leaders and will withdraw. Of course, I encourage such attitude of his but I am not sure the society will agree to it,” stated Galust Sahakian. However, his confidence was rather odd and surprising as the first President had declared at the rally that he would be the last person to give up politics.
