YEREVAN, MARCH 2, NOYAN TAPAN. "Many of you pin much hopes on this rally and expect 24-hour rallies, revolt, attack on the presidential residence," first RA President, Armenian National Congress (ANC) leader Levon Ter-Petrosian said at the March 1 rally addressing to those gathered. "Right away I consider it necessary to declare that the ANC lexicon did not contain and henceforth will not contain the notions "attack" and "revolt." According to him, the shabby idea of revolution should be finally forced out of Armenian citizens' lexicon. According to L. Ter-Petrosian, as far as it is this way, one dictatorship will replace another one. "Resolution is not a one-time outburst, but an ability of a long-lasting fight," he stated mentioning that in general it is not standing up but staying in that position is important. According to L. Ter-Petrosian, the idea of holding 24-hour rallies is not acceptable for ANC, but it is not proper time for it now. According to him, until society's other parts, many people realize the danger of taking a bribe, until the business world is inclined to the opposition, the power shift moment cannot be considered matured. According to L. Ter-Petrosian, the authorities soon will have no arguments to speak with the people. According to his prediction, it is not excluded that the authorities will resign and ANC will be made a new proposal to establish a new government of national consent. In that case, as the opposition leader assured, the people will decide what ANC should do, if the people says no, that proposal will be declined. A march took place after the rally with the participation of thousands of people. They walked by Mashtots Avenue, Grigor Lusavorich street, Republic Square, Nalbandian street and reached Northern Avenue, where political walks are organized every evening. The next rally will take place on May 1.
