The March 1 events became a stigma for Armenia, the Board Chairman
of the opposition Armenian Pan-National Movement (HHSh) party has said.
Speaking at the rally organized outside the Matenadaran building by
the Armenian National Congress (ANC) late on Tuesday, Aram Manukyan
said that with this assembly the ANC is starting its series of rallies.
Further, Manukyan stressed that the ANC is committed to its promises
and will continue its fight for the maintenance of constitutional rule
in Armenia, freedom, resumption of sovereignty, as well as holding
of snap parliamentary and presidential elections.
At least ten were killed and dozens wounded during the political
unrest sparked by the disputed presidential elections in 2008.
Manukyan also said that three years ago this very day several people
were arrested after the political turmoil that sent shockwaves through
the country.
"Dozens left the country after those events. The program of
depopulating Armenia continues today too," said Manukyan.
Further, he said that the ANC has gathered to "mark the anniversary
of the March 1 events and not to whimper".
