Pre-electoral bloc "Congress-People`s Party" will hold march of peace on March 29
ArmInfo. The pre-election bloc "Congress-People's Party" will march on March 29 from Liberty Square. Levon Zurabyan, the head of the headquarters of the bloc, told a press conference in Yerevan on March 23.
He called on citizens, regardless of their political views, to take part in the rally, since the message of this event will be the peace for which the bloc represented in the pre-election period stands. At the same time, the politician added that the bloc will support the implementation of the peace program, even if it can not win the election. In this context, the candidate emphasized that the political force intends to support the power that will agree to implement the peace program. "If not, then we will apply pressure, since we consider the settlement of the Karabakh conflict as a priority", the politician stressed.
Zurabyan also touched upon the response after the speech of the first president and leader of the bloc Levon Ter-Petrosyan on the Public Television of Armenia regarding the plan he had voiced about mutual concessions in the Karabakh settlement. In particular, the head of staff called on the vice-speaker and member of the Republican Party of Armenia Eduard Sharmazanov to refrain from praising the first president, since, in his opinion, this negatively affects the authority of Ter-Petrosyan. He considered the criticism of the first president ridiculous, and advised the ruling party to apologize to the people for the deplorable situation in which the Armenian society turned out because of their activities.
To note, the last interview of the first president Levon Ter-Petrosyan, in which the idea of territorial concessions was again a red thread, caused a wide public response. Eduard Sharmazanov, Vice Speaker of the Parliament, also reacted to this, who noted that the Karabakh settlement is now based on very different documents than during the reign of the first president.
