Several tens of thousands of people have already gathered in the area

number of steadily growing.

Member of the Central Electoral Office of Ter-Petrossyan Nikol

many people as possible so as to ensure their security and to build
barricades all round the area. "One of our priority tasks after the
illegal actions of the Police is to determine the place where people
will gather now. Levon Ter-Petrossyan made a decision to hold the
rally right here", Nikol Pashinyan said.

Leader of the oppositional Republic party Aram Sargsyan stressed:
"all of us are Levon Ter-Petrossyan’s soldiers and we should carry
out his order – to stand here".

The oppositionists state that presidential candidate Levon
Ter-Petrossyan is under house arrest and they demand that their
leader be released. The oppositionists also said that they have no
information about victims of the law-enforcers’ operations. They
expressed hope that there will be no such information.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
