    IT WAS NOT THE UNITED OPPOSITION'S RALLY

    Leaders of "Heritage" faction didn't take part in the Armenian National
    Congress rally and march yesterday. Instead, "Heritage" representatives
    went to Myasnikyan statue to pay homage to the victims of March 1.

    Why didn't they join the ANC? In response, head of the "Heritage"
    faction Stepan Safaryan told "A1+" that the supporters and members of
    "Heritage" were free to choose where to go and many took part in the
    Congress rally.

    "It was not mandatory for the political party to be present as an
    institutional unit. But that doesn't mean that we are indifferent
    or don't respond to the events organized by the ANC," said Stepan
    Safaryan.

    As far as organizing a separate rally is concerned, Safaryan said that
    the "Heritage" youth wing had set an hour. The representatives of the
    older generation of the party members joined the initiative and paid
    tribute to the citizens who risked their lives for the civil struggle.

    Safaryan said that the reason why "Heritage" leaders were not at the
    Matenadaran was that in addition to their speeches from time to time,
    they have always been among the people.

    "Yesterday was the rally organized by the ANC and not the united
    opposition or Armenia's opposition for us to be there."
