'Million Man March' rescheduled for May 1
Director Arshak Zakaryan, who was going to stage "million man march" in Yerevan on April 8, today told reporters that the march has been rescheduled for May 1.
"Supporters of Heritage party leader Raffi Hovannisian think that the event may hinder their movement, therefore we have changed the date not to become a scapegoat," he said.
Zakaryan says the choice of the date (May 1) is not accidental as many of the march participants are workers who are complaining of the present situation.
The director says members of the Heritage party disapproved of the move from the very beginning though the march is targeted against the authorities.
Participating in the press conference was also ex-presidential candidate Andrias Ghukasyan, who said he would join the march on May 1.
"The leaders of the initiative will be known on April 12," he said adding that civil disobedience is an option not to allow the country's authorities to conclude such agreements in international relations that will be irreversible for Armenia.
As reported earlier, participants of the march will gather in Yerevan's Republic Square and peacefully march to the presidential compound on Baghramyan Avenue.
Arshak Zakaryan says he voted for Serzh Sargsyan in the 2008 presidential but the latter has deceived him as he has not enacted any of his campaign pledges.
