PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc rally kicked off in Yerevan 20 minutes later than scheduled.

Haykakan Zhamanak newspaper editor-in-chief Nikol Pashinyan opened the rally, reminding those gathered that 20 years ago, Aram Manukyan on behalf of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Armenia, declared the republic’s independence.

Pashinyan went on to slam current ruling regime led by Serzh Sargsyan and Robert Kocharian, threatening them with public indignation. As he stressed, ANC determination to struggle against oligarchic regime remains unwavering.

The mother of one of the victims of March 1, 2008 events, Tigran Khachatryan, delivered a speech, accusing the authorities of inactivity in revealing and punishing those responsible.

“The ruling authorities will face a proper retribution for their inactivity,” Pashinyan stressed.
