Pashinyan promises Sargsyan’s resignation if half mln people take to streets

Haykakan Zhamanak newspaper editor-in-chief Nikol Pashinyan opened the Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc rally in Yerevan, urging those present to prepare for a constitutional revolution.

“A revolution has ripened in Yerevan, with junta holding the power in the country unable to resolve society’s problems,” he stressed.

Pashinyan urged those gathered for a revolution; promising that the ruling President will resign within 24 hours, should 500000 people take to streets to voice their protest.
