Interfax

Armenia vitally needs a revolution, Nikol Pashinian, an activist of
the opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) and the editor-in-chief
of the newspaper Aikakan Zhamanak, said at a protest rally on Freedom
Square in the center of Yerevan on Friday.
"A revolutionary situation has taken shape in Armenia, because there
are a lot of problems, while the junta that has seized power is
incapable of resolving them and is problem number one for the people
itself, which has to be resolved," Pashinian said.
The government is incapable of ensuring Armenia's development and
progress and is "an obstacle," he said.
"The people should resolve this problem themselves. The people
should gather on the square and personally establish the law and
constitutional order. A revolution in Armenia is a vital necessity. I
am calling on everyone to prepare for a constitutional revolution,"
Pashinian said.
To carry out a "velvet" revolution in Armenia, 500,000 people should
gather on Freedom Square in Yerevan, Pashinian said. "Only 500,000
people and 24 hours are needed for these authorities to get out. We
will leave today, but we will come for the next rally to start a
velvet revolution," he said.
