A1+
[09:51 pm] 20 June, 2008
Member of the political board of the "Hanrapetutiun" (Republic)
Party Suren Surenyants is conducting the rally in the Matenadaran
square. First of all he congratulated people on 3 victories they
had won.
According to him the first victory was the breaking of the police
barrier and holding the rally in the Matenadaran square. The
second victory was the success of "A1+" in the European Court of
Human Rights. The third one was the issue of Armenia to be urgently
discussed in the agendum of the PACE summer session.
Surenyants considers that national movement is well-organized
in Armenia, even better than in all the other former Soviet
countries. "The unanimous hunger-strike of the political prisoners
can serve as a typical example of it," Surenyants declares.
Chairman of the "New Times" Party Hrachya Sargssian suggested that the
people present observed a minute of silence for 1 March victims. "Every
citizen struggles for himself. So each of you should bring another
2 people with you for the next rally," Sargssian advised.
