Zurabyan: to cooperate with ANC, Heritage has to accept Congress platform

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian National Congress (ANC) coordinator commented on the possibility of ANC-Heritage cooperation after Heritage parliamentary group leader Stepan Safaryan named ANC leader Levon Ter-Petrossian responsible for death of people at March 1, 2008 rally.

''ANC is open for cooperation with all political forces sharing its platform,'' Levon Zurabyan said replying to a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter's question.

''The Congress is open for cooperation with all political forces who seek restoration of lawfulness, democratic freedom and constitutional order in the country,'' he stressed, adding, ''we are concerned over different issues. We can't keep repeating the same statement.''

Armenian National Congress (ANC) leader, the fist Armenian President Levon Ter-Petrossian must be held politically responsible for the death of 10 people in tragic events of March 1, 2008, the leader of Heritage opposition party’s parliamentary group stated on his Facebook page.

As Stepan Safaryan stressed in his post, Ter-Petrossian should have foreseen the development of the events at Myasnikyan Square, by either being present in person or dismissing the rally to prevent the tragedy.

According to Safaryan, in the morning of March 1, 2008 he informed Ter-Petrossian about the gathering of people at Myasnikyan Square, to which the ex-president replied, “it’s not my people.”
