On May 1, Armenian Communist Party is celebrating International
Solidarity Labor Day. Today, Armenian communists and little pioneers
directed to the monument to Stepan Shahumyan via Mashtots avenue,
Amiryan street, and Republican Square. They were marching under
a Soviet music holding Soviet Armenian red flag, ‘Viva Armenian
Communist Party: people’s only hope’ and similar posters, and balloons.

As to the participants, about 1000 communist activists from different
marzes were here to participate in the meeting.

A group of 60 people headed the march; they were followed by Ruben
Tovmasyan, ACP central committee and ACP Young team and other party
members. To note, a pioneer called Margar handed Comrade Tovmasyan
‘ The picture of Lenin Granny on a red flag’ to express his love
and respect towards ACP. All the participants had red bands on
their chests. Others were holding red carnations as a ‘ red symbol’
of Communism.

The passers-by would stop astound for a moment, then smiled them
good-bye and remember their green years.

The communists did not lose time and chance to preach and make similar
announcements like ‘ Be with communists and save Armenia!’, ‘ Let’s
vote for ACP on May 12!’ This is how Comrade Tovmasyan commented on
the issue,’ We did not make use of the advantage.

Today everybody speaks about elections. It was very logical to speak
about the elections especially today.

Once again we wanted to attract our proponents’ and members’ attention
and make them focus on the issue of vital necessity.’

In answer to the question whether ACP would be able to surpass the 5%
election barrier in the forthcoming NA elections, Comrade Tovmasyan
mentioned," I do not assume, we are to overcome this barrier. We’ll
become the opposition to care for every single stone, every single
street, as it was us to create it. It was us to have built all this."
