Remembering his communist past, Serzh Sargsyan decided to become committee secretary, Aram Manukyan, Armenian National Congress Parliamentary Faction secretary, said in his speech on the meeting organized today by the "No" Front on the Freedom Square in Yerevan.
"Turning away from the Presidential Institute in Armenia, Sargsyan will claim for the post of Party's Secretary General. The Referendum on Constitutional Reforms pursues this aim, he noted. In this light Manukyan called upon the gathered people to take part in the national protest against "the thieves, corrupted, criminal elements who aim to reform Armenia on paper, but in practice to completely destroy the whole system of governance and the country itself".
