On October 27, the opposition Armenian National Congress (HAK) led by the country's first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan paid tribute to the victims of the 1999 terrorist attack in Yerablur.

Both the Pantheon and Yerablur were overcrowded today. It reminded the presentees of the excitement raised during the formation of "Miasnutyun" (Unity) Alliance.

"The terrorist attack of October 27, 1999, and the post-election clashes of March 1, 2008, frustrated people's hopes for positive changes," Aram Sargsyan, the brother of slain Vazgen Sargsyan, told A1+.

Karabakh Committee member Ashot Manucharyan says in 1998-99 Armenia sharply deviated from the development set in the 88s. "Miasnutyun" attempted to recover the situation but the parliamentary carnage of October 27 hindered the swing.

Mr. Manucharyan says the October 27, 1999 events were planned and organized by outside forces.

"Armenia has become a marionette for foreign countries. This was one of the main goals of the October 27 attack," Ashot Manucharyan told A1+.

"I do not know whether the terrorist attack was plotted by inside or outside forces but it was the antics of the devil," said Vazgen Sargsyan's brother Armen Sargsyan.

Andranik Kocharyan believes that the perpetrators of the terrorist attack would be revealed on day.
"Our country cannot prosper without the disclosure of October 27."
