HAK next rally scheduled for October 19
"According to Russian media, the most corrupted state figures of Armenia are Robert Kocahryan, Serzh Sargsyan, Hovik Abrahamyan, Tigran Sargsyan, Arthur Baghdasaryan, Armen gevorgyan, Vardan Ayvazyan, Andranik Manukyan, Erwand Zakharyan, Gagik Beglaryan, Armen Avetisyan, Gagik Khachatryan, Hrachya Harutyunyan, MIkael Minasyan, Alexan Harutyunyan, Arthur Javadyan, David harutyunyan, Grisha Harutyunyan and Suren Khachatryan. Only the court can prove the authenticity of the information," Armenia's first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan said during the opposition rally on October 15.
"Corruption, absence of law and anti-national foreign policy are evils hanging over Armenia.
Armenia is doomed to collapse if the situation remains unchanged, i.e. the regime does not resign, Armenia. Not only criminal authorities, but also election riggers and false oppositionists will bear responsibility for it. I do not exaggerate the situation and present it in different colours. Unfortunately, the reality is obscure and gloomy. Only you, the rally participants will be able to avert the pending disaster," he said.
"Serzh Sargsyan and Tigran Sargsyan bear only one state symbol and that symbol is a tie," Levon Ter-Petrosyan said in his speech.
Coordinator of the Armenian National Congress Levon Zurabyan spoke of the criminal ties of the regime [Serzh Sargsyan and Robert Kocharyan] with foreign mafia-controlled groups of the U.S. and Russia.
He also thanked the rally participants for attending the meeting despite the unfavourable weather conditions.
Economist Vahagn Khachatryan expressed regret over continuing migration from Armenia.
"70 000 left Armenia as of September 1, 2010. Armenian authorities are only robbing people," the economist said.
Next rally of the Armenian National Congress will be held on October 19 on the occasion of a CoE Forum for the Future of Democracy in Yerevan.
On Monday, the opposition will hold a piquet at Liberty Square, followed by a rally. According to Levon Zurabyan, they intend to remind the forum participants of the ten victims of March 1, political prisoners and other problems.
The Secretary General of the Council of Europe and President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe will participate in the forum.
