The Armenian National Congress (ANC) has launched a new initiative: gather all the complaints concerning the tragic events on March 1, 2008, and lodge a claim against the State with the European Court, the former military prosecutor of Armenia Gagik Jhangiryan stated at a rally held by the Armenian National Congress (ANC) in Yerevan on September 17.

According to him, the ANC does not place any hopes on the local judicial system and will apply to the European Court.

The rally coordinator Levon Zurabyan added that a new wave of rallies and processions is rising, for “the slow-witted to realize the inevitability of change of power.”
