/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian National Congress (ANC) resumes its Friday
marches and protest rallies. In particular, Congress has today released
a statement which runs as follows: "As long as Nikol Pashinyan is
kept in detention, we'll do our best to make his presence felt and
words heard by all citizens."
In their statement, activists also say that youth will start Friday
marches and rallies, initiated by Niikol Pashinyan. "Realizing that
Armenia's salvation depends on one person, and that person is each
of us, we declare of our intention not to yield to any force. Our
victory is inevitable. And hence - 1+1+1+1+1+1+...," runs the release.
"During the July 12 opposition meeting, RA first President Levon
Ter-Petrosyan announced that the next protest rally was due on
September 18. In the meantime, he didn't rule out possibility of
interim meetings."
One of active participants of March 1, 2008 incidents, "Haykakan
Zhamanak" newspaper's Editor-in-Chief Nikol Pashinyan gave himself up
to law enforcement bodies on July 1, 2009. Activist was subsequently
arrested and sent to "Yerevan-Knetron" penitentiary.
Dissatisfied with February 19, 2008 election outcome, opposition
organized meetings in the center of Yerevan. On March 1-2, protests
headed by first President developed into disorders, resulting in the
death of 10 individuals.
