The time is ripe to set aside provincial thinking and to honor the memory of victims of March 1 with joint efforts, Leader of Heritage Party, member of New Armenia front Raffi Hovannisian stated during public discussions held on Liberty Square on February 12.
"The time has come to remove political monopolies, to stop editing contemporary history of the country and with joint efforts to demand fair investigation of the events of March 1", he noted. At the same time the politician expressed assurance that Armenian politicians must consolidate and start a fight against regime. He also called for all the political forces to set aside their ambitions and organize a joint rally or demonstration on March 1.
Since 2009 annually on March 1 Armenian National Congress organizes a rally on the Liberty Square and a demonstration in the honor of memory of victims of March 1 events. New Armenia front also plans to hold a rally this year. Deputy Head of Armenian National Congress Levon Zurabyan had stated that they do not have an agreement with New Armenia and they have their own agenda as in previous year. He also noted that none of political forces has demonstrated such consistency in the issue of March 1, as the Congress.
