At a March 3 press conference, Levon Zuabyan, Central Office Coordinator, Armenian National Congress, welcomed the Heritage Party’s parliamentary demarche.

Speaking of the idea of Opposition’s consolidation, he said that this idea is an artificial one and is being imposed on the people. “The Opposition consolidated long ago. It happened three years ago. And even if some forces are still outside, they can be involved in the national struggle,” Zurabyan said.

He promised that the ANC will hold a rally on March 17, which will be attended by many more people. “Over 50,000 participants in the March 1 rally proved that our movement is gaining strength,” he said.
