Director Arshak Zakaryan, who was going to stage "million man march"
in Yerevan on April 8, today told reporters that the march has been
rescheduled for May 1.
"Supporters of Heritage party leader Raffi Hovannisian think that
the event may hinder their movement, therefore we have changed the
date not to become a scapegoat," he said.
Zakaryan says the choice of the date (May 1) is not accidental as
many of the march participants are workers who are complaining of
the present situation.
The director says members of the Heritage party disapproved of the
move from the very beginning though the march is targeted against
the authorities.
Participating in the press conference was also ex-presidential
candidate Andrias Ghukasyan, who said he would join the march on May 1.
"The leaders of the initiative will be known on April 12," he said
adding that civil disobedience is an option not to allow the country's
authorities to conclude such agreements in international relations
that will be irreversible for Armenia.
As reported earlier, participants of the march will gather in Yerevan's
Republic Square and peacefully march to the presidential compound on
Baghramyan Avenue.
Arshak Zakaryan says he voted for Serzh Sargsyan in the 2008
presidential but the latter has deceived him as he has not enacted
any of his campaign pledges.
