On Monday, thousands gathered in Yerevan to commemorate the deadly
events of March 1, 2008, when large-scale violence broke out in the
streets of Yerevan between police and oppositionists protesting the
results of Armenia’s disputed presidential election two years ago.
Levon Ter-Petrosyan, oppositionist leader and head of the
Armenian National Congress, addressed crowds Monday night near The
Matenadaran before oppositionist members marched through the centre
of Yerevan. In his 50-minute speech, Ter-Petrosyan lambasted the
current administration, criticizing its handling of the country’s
current challenges and condemning the Turkish-Armenian normalization
process as "humiliating."

after clash.
