Yerevan, 31 July: Tomorrow [1 August] at 1900 [1400 gmt] main political
forces of the Pan-National Movement will sign a declaration on the
platform near Metandaran [museum - institution of ancient manuscripts]
on establishment of an Armenian National Congress.
"We call on our people to demonstrate will on this day and take
an active part in establishment of the Armenian National Congress,
as well as demonstrate high civil consciousness and determination,"
representative of the Pan-National Movement centre, Levon Zurabyan,
told journalists today.
During the rally staged on 4 July, Levon Ter-Petrosyan had made
several demands to authorities allowing them a period to fulfil those
demands. In particular, he demanded that the political prisoners be
released, political persecution and police terror be stopped, freedom
of assembly is maintained as well as bring the main culprit of the1
March events, Robert Kocharyan and his mates, to responsibility.
Since the demands have not been fulfilled, the motto of the 1 August
rally of the Pan-National Movement, as promised by Ter-Petrosyan,
will be the resignation of [Armenian President] Serzh Sargsyan.
"We do not see any difference between Serzh Sargsyan and Robert
Kocharyan. At one time, Serzh Sargsyan promised to carry out reforms
and fulfill the demands of the resolutions of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe. However, it became obvious that
it was simply a game and that Serzh Sargsyan did not and has not a
desire to free himself from Kocharyan's legacy. The trend of events
indicate that it's the same regime," Zurabyan has said.
He thinks that Serzh Sargsyan has lost his chances to assert himself
using another method.
The leaders of the Pan-National Movement promise to inform people
of their future activities tomorrow at the rally. Today Zurabyan has
only said that the sit-in protest will continue on the Northern avenue.
