YEREVAN, APRIL 9, NOYAN TAPAN. "April 9 is the first anniversary of
the so-called tenure, exotic inauguration of second leader of the
bandit regime established in Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan," the statement
of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) read.

Analysing President Serzh Sargsyan’s one year’s activity, ANC recorded
that by not punishing the organizers of falsifications in the 2008
presidential elections and taking them under his protection S. Sargsyan
proved that he was also one of those creating and ordering the
February 19 electoral falsifications’ "infernal mechanism." Besides,
according to the statement, S. Sargsyan did his best to slur over the
barbaric slaughter of peaceful demonstrants early in the morning of
March 1 in Liberty Square and the bloody slaughter of the spontaneous
peaceful rally participants in the evening the same day. "It is only
by his order that it became possible not to file a criminal case on
the fact of the 10 citizens’ death. By doing so he proved that he was
not only aware, but was at least a co-author in organization of that
state and national disgrace," the ANC statement read.

According to ANC, at present S. Sargsyan continues keeping as hostages
55 political prisoners not being afraid of discrediting country’s
judicial system till the end for that purpose, inducing dozens
of judges, prosecutors, investigators, and policemen to criminal
actions. It was mentioned that it was by S. Sargsyan’s order that
law enforcement bodies prosecuted, chased, and terrified dozens of
thousands of citizens.

"State’s monopolization has risen to a new level," ANC recorded
adding that in addition to it, thousands of medium-sized and small
businessmen have reached the verge of economic disaster. The statement
authors emphasize that unprecedented fall in prices is recorded in the
whole world, while we have growth in prices in Armenia. "Understanding
very well that its illegal and criminal power is doomed, S. Sargsyan’s
administration has selflessly devoted itself to robbery and pillage,"
the statement read.

According to radical opposition’s estimation, in the sphere of foreign
policy, Armenia’s President for retaining his own power for one more
day has put to auction country’s national interests. ANC announced that
the Nagorno Karabakh problem was led to a state when S. Sargsyan either
has to sign under the most unfavorable of the possible settlement
variants or to involve the country in a war. "The issue of Genocide has
been also put to auction: agreeing to Turkey’s proposal to establish
a commission of historians on that issue, S. Sargsyan in essence also
called in question the fact of the genocide," ANC mentioned.

Summing up the one year of S. Sargsyan’s tenure, ANC considers that
his "achievements" in both domestic and foreign sphere are tenfold
sufficient for him to resign.
