The opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) continues its rally
outside Matenadaran.
The relatives of the people killed during the March 1, 2008
post-electoral turmoil have joined the protesters.
Some of them have delivered speeches.
"Not only the police but also the army was forced to battle with the
peaceful protesters on March 1, 2008," said one of the protesters,
Alla Hovhannisyan.
"It's three years now that the parents of those killed are sparing no
effort to have the circumstances of their children's murder disclosed.
Having exhausted all the domestic resources, we are now turning to
the European Court of Human Rights," she said, adding that a special
NGO has been set up provide assistance to the families of the deceased.
Addressing the crowd, head of the Armenian Pan-national Movement's
political board, Aram Manukyan, called for supporting the relatives
of the victims.
"We'll struggle until the end. We won't sigh with relief unless we
shut this page down," he said, stressing the importance of holding
all the organizers, perpetrators and perjurors of March 1, 2008
disorders accountable.
