    Heritage leader opens first spring day with vow of silence

    The opposition Heritage party's leader has announced a vow of silence
    in Yerevan's Liberty Square, remembering that March 1 marks the tragic
    anniversary of the 2008 post-electoral turmoil and the birthday of
    Vazgen Sargsyan (a former Armenian premier killed in parliament in the
    1999 terror attack).

    Speaking to reporters in the square, Raffi Hovhannisian recalled the
    names of the ten people who were killed in the violent protests in
    2008.

    `We must take an oath to never again have an Armenian's blood flow on
    the Armenian land,' he said.

    A crowd of people will head to Myasnikyan Square later on Friday to
    commemorate the 10 people killed during the violent clashes five years
    ago today.

    `Everyone has to analyze this tragedy deep inside to try and find his
    own guilt,' Hovhannisian said.

    The Vow of Silence will end at a Myasnikyan Square rally on Friday.

    `My heart, soul and essence share the grief with the families of
    victims. And I have to say that who organized it must be held
    responsible,' he said.

    Yerevan's St. Sargis Church will host today a liturgy in commemoration
    of the ten victims.
