Director Arshak Zakaryan, who came up with the idea to stage a
"million man march" in Yerevan on April 8, told reporters today that
if the Yerevan Municipality didn't grant a march permit the people
would take to the streets anyway.
The event, now being advertised on the social web and ny word of
mouth, is scheduled one day before the official inauguration of Serzh
Sargsyan as the duly elected next president of Armenia.
At 3pm, people will gather in Yerevan's Republic Square and then
peacefully march to the Presidential Palace on Baghramyan Avenue.
Zakaryan said that the march will convey the message to Sargsyan that
April 8 is his last day in office and that civil disobedience is an
option if he deosn't heed the will of the people.
Zakaryan confessed that he had voted for Sargsyan in 2008 but that he
had been deceived.
"Sargsyan has enacted none of the campaign promises he made in 2008
regarding reforms. He's had five years to accomplish something,
anything, but we see the results," said Zakaryan.
Zakaryan said he had discussed the march with members of the Heritage Party,
He says that Stopya Safaryan and Hovsep Khurshudyan told him to "go
ahead" with the march but that they wouldn't assume any
rtesponsibilty.
Zakaryan says a ferw thousand people have already signed up on the
Facebook page for the march.
