YEREVAN, OCTOBER 16, NOYAN TAPAN. Calls for removing the current
regime and uniting around Levon Ter-Petrosian sounded during the
October 16 event, which was dedicated to the anniversary of the first
presidential elections of the Third Republic. The event was organized
by the Alternative non-governmental political initiative, the young
wings of the Conservative, Republic, Social Democratic Hnchakian and
Armenian National Movement parties.

Karen Karapetian, the Head of the young wing of the Armenian National
Movement party, mentioned that the difficulties the Third Republic
faced would not be possible to overcome if the authorities of those
times did not enjoy the confidence of the people and did not conduct
a democratic policy.

According to him, Armenia suffered colossal damages during the 9 years
of the tenure of the current authorities, even the Karabakh conflict,
which was speculated by the current authorities for the purpose of
coming to power, was not settled during their tenure and entered
deadlock, in fact.

Suren Sureniants, a member of the political board of the Hanrapetutiun
(Republic) party, mentioned that the aim of Levon Ter-Petrosian’s
return into big politics is to build a new system and not restore
the old one.

Aram Sargsian and Lyudmila Sargsian, the leaders of the Hanrapetutiun
(Republic) and Hnchakian parties, called to the young for taking an
active part in the forthcoming political processes, in the nomination
process of the first president, in particular.
