Aroused the Congress’s “remorse”
"The great number of people expected to show up at the pan-Armenian rally to be held on March 1 has not only thrown the Armenian authorities in frenzy, but has made them hysterical.
This is the only explanation for the alarm sounded by the police of the Avan district of Yerevan, who were informed about the meeting of representative of the central office of the Armenian National Congress and leader of "Republic" party Aram Sargsyan with activists of the ANC in Avan and tried to impede the meeting based on their reasons.
When they failed to do so, they took representative of the ANC office in Avan Levon Yeghiazaryan to the police division and he was released only after his attorney made it to the division. Later, "anonymous people" tore the sign posted in the office.
The Armenian National Congress condemns "yet another try of the authorities to turn the police into a tool for committing illegal actions".
These actions aimed at minimizing the number of people wishing to take part in the rally to be held on March 1 may arouse a feeling of remorse," stated in the statement made by the Armenian National Congress.
