ANC: “If 200,000 people come…”
"During the April 8 rally, Levon Ter-Petrosyan will give a response to whether he will give the authorities a deadline," Armenian National Congress coordinator Levon Zurabyan told journalists today.
Ter-Petrosyan has set three demands, including the release of political prisoners, the revelation of the murders committed on March 1 and holding rallies at Freedom Square.
April 9 marks the third year of Serzh Sargsyan's term in office. Zurabyan says those three years were disastrous and mentioned the main areas in which Sargsyan failed.
First, according to Zurabyan, was the economy that registered a 5% fall of the GDP and a 7% inflation.
Secondly, Sargsyan failed in the "football diplomacy" and finally, he disrespected democracy and human rights due to the presence of political prisoners.
In response to member of the "Sardarapat" Movement's initiating group Jirair Sefilyan's warning to the ANC to "become marginalized", Levon Zurabyan said it was too early to speak about becoming marginalized.
As for replacing the slogan "Levon, President" with Sefilyan's other call to the ANC, Levon Zurabyan assured that the movement doesn't come up with any slogan and the people scream the slogan that they would like.
Touching upon the rally, the ANC coordinator mentioned that they will demand Serzh Sargsyan's resignation when 200,000 people come to the rally.
