RECURRENT DEMONSTRATION
A1+
[01:54 pm] 05 March, 2007
The members of NGOs and youth organizations held a demonstration
opposite Komitas statue with the shouts "It has launched..."
"The representatives of our young generation must pay more attention
to their country", they say.
To note; the participants showed the photos of the residents who
were forcibly displaced from their homes as new buildings were to be
built instead.
Michael Hovhannisyan, one of the initiators, claims that they want
to change something in the country.
They had two symbols; the Satan and an angel who were struggling all
the time but the angel won in the end.
One of the posters of the rally was dedicated to Zhirayr Sefilyan. Vahe
Grigoryan, Sefilyan's advocate, shared his thoughts with A1+. He is
glad to see that Sefilyan's arrest has aroused not only political
but also public interest.
When asked why they chose especially the statue of Komitas as a
site of the rally, Arsen Kharatyan, one of the participants said,
"Komitas went mad seeing the general picture of the country, the
everyday hustle and bustle and the chaos reigning in the country. We
put the cynicism existing in the country in the one side of the statue
and the serious information our society needs - on the other. The
meaning of our words lies behind the messages."
The messages are as follows, "Hayko will whisper in Eurovision
this year...", "Unprecedented action; once you are granted dual
citizenship you will enjoy the third one free of charge...", "NA
endorsed the law on "Exiling the residents" after passing the law on
"Property Alienation".
The rally participants promised to hold the next demonstrations in
two weeks' time.
