The opposition's April 9 peaceful procession to the Presidential
Office is very likely to postponed, according to an organizer.
In his speech at Yerevan's Liberty Square, film director Arshak
Zakaryan said he has promised to wait until the April 9 inauguration
day (which the opposition claims should mark the inauguration of Raffi
Hovhannisian, the opposition Heritage party's leader, who was Serzh
Sargsyan's runner-up in February 18 presidential election).
`I do not step back from my initiative. But respecting the calls of
Raffi Hovhannisian, the leader, and the other activists of Heritage,
for avoiding a provocation, we will very probably reschedule it for a
later time,' he said, adding that over 10,000 people have joined the
initiative.
`But we, as a nation, have to take to the streets one day to prove the
regime, as well as the world community that we no longer wish to live
like this,' he added.
Addressing the protesting young activists in the square, Zakaryan
confessed that he had voted for Serzh Sargsyan in 2008, believing in
his reforms program.
Zakaryan announced the initiative on Facebook, calling upon the
Armenians to gather in Liberty Square on April 9 and head to the
presidential office in a peaceful procession to express no confidence
to the incumbent authorities.
