ARMENIANS TO MARCH AGAINST JOINING CUSTOMS UNION ON SEPTEMBER 21
September 19, 2013 | 14:59
YEREVAN. - Holding of a march of independence in Yerevan is explained
by Serzh Sargsyan's a surprise statement on joining the Customs Union,
civic activist Karen Tovmasyan said.
An initiative to hold "Nation-wide march of independence" appeared
on Facebook to take the streets and reconfirm the decision to live
in an independent state which was adopted 22 years ago.
"The march in Yerevan will star at 4pm on Saturday. The words and
deeds of Serzh Sargsyan and the Armenian authorities do not coincide.
Non-elected president does not consider it necessary to keep his
people aware of his steps," Tovmasyan said.
Another participant of the press conference Marine Petrosyan noted
that the most ideologically implacable figures have joined their march.
In his turn, activist Armen Hovhannisyan said the main goal of the
march is to speak against the Customs Union.
"Independence as a value and sovereignty as the main point of the
values unite everyone," he emphasized.
Hovhannisyan stressed that the will of Armenian people expressed 22
years ago remains ink on paper.
"Security and social conditions of the people mainly depend on
independence. Only we, the citizens of Armenia, can decide with whom
and how we want to live," he concluded.
On September 21 Armenia will mark the 22nd anniversary of independence.
