“How can the March 1 victim walk now hand in hand with the March 1 murderer? The first claimant of March 1 was Levon Ter-Petrosyan. He was the first one, then the other political forces, the eighteen forces, which have been merged. He was the first to give up with it. Whom he makes friends with? Who has shot at him yesterday? He has been shot, his blood was shed. How can one forget it?” said former member of the ANC alliance, leader of Christian-Democratic Renaissance party, Sos Gimishyan, criticizing Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s partnership with the PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan. In this regard, in the conversation with Aravot.am, ANC council member Zoya Tadevosyan assured, “As far as I know, all of the relatives of March 1 victims were standing with us, they welcomed the guests and spoke again on March 1, and no one condemn the ANC-PAP partnership, and until now no one has been convicted. I think they look at everything more sober.” To our observation whether there is no problem there, that they should be the first claimants for March 1, Zoya Tadevosyan replied, “We like before are still claimants. Not does not hamper with other. Partnership has nothing to do. We are claimants, time will show, we will prove legitimately, they will also prove whether they are guilty or not. There is a presumption of innocence, you know. Therefore, time will come, and we will have all the answers to the questions.” To our question that when the ANC had just begun cooperating with PAP, ANC members were assuring that Levon Ter-Petrosyan, with his actions, wanted the government pyramid to collapse, to tear off a piece from this pyramid. But today, as a result, the ANC collapsed, Zoya Tadevosyan disagreed, “No, the ANC is not collapsed. The ANC as before is a solid, concerted party operating in the atmosphere of mutual trust. I assure you that the ANC is a good party, a sound and progressive party”. As commented by Zoya Tadevosyan, separation of the ANC alliance has not been due to the partnership with the ANC. “At that time, the eighteen parties merged for quite a different objective. Well, they did not merge to become a party. Later, they completed their objective…they were assisting Levon Ter-Petrosyan in the presidential elections. They completed their mission, now have another mission. For instances, I became an ANC member through the CDR party.”
