    more images "Shame on you", "Leave, traitors"...

    These were what the victims of "state needs", the former residents
    of the center of the city said while walking from the Parliament
    building to the Constitutional Court where the participants of the
    civic disobedience movement were waiting for them. By the way, the
    participants of the protest action carried brooms which have already
    become their symbol.

    As far as today is the first anniversary of the Constitutional
    referendum, the residents of Kentron had gathered to express their
    discontent with the members of the Constitutional Court. "Last
    year the Armenian nation boycotted the farce. Today we have come to
    express our discontent with the members of the Constitutional Court
    who close their eyes to the illegal actions of the authorities. At
    present they are adopting an anti-constitutional law about alienation
    of property", said founder of the Civic Disobedience movement, former
    Foreign Minister Alik Arzoumanyan.

    He called on those present, "This movement will become more and
    more powerful day by day. Our only demand is that Kocharyan and
    his criminal group should leave. We will not wait for the recurrent
    illegal elections".

    Arkadi Karapetyan, head of the NKR "Erkrapah" Union, said, "We
    protected this country during war. Today we are ready to protect it
    in peace too".

    Residents of both the city and the regions participated in the protest
    action. Elmira Kostandyan, owner of Dalma gardens, held a broom in
    her hands and promised to sweep everything unclean in the country.

    Another old man from the regions demanded, "Let's take an ax and put
    an end to this situation".

    After the speeches the participants of the action moved on to the
    Parliament building again as the deputies were discussing the RA Law on
    "Alienation of property for state and needs".

    By the way, the founders of the movement were the first the leave
    the site.
