RALLY IN FRONT OF TURKISH EMBASSY IN MOSCOW
MOSCOW, APRIL 25. ARMINFO. A traditional April rally of the Armenian
community in front of the Turkish Embassy in Moscow this year exceeded
all the previous rallies as to its scales. The Moscow authorities
allowed gathering of 300 people and not 100 as it was during the
previous years.
According to ARMINFO's special correspondent to Moscow, this time
Chairman of the Russian-Armenian Commonwealth organization Yuri
Navoyan led the rally. In his words, this year the community managed
not only to achieve permission for more number of participants in the
rally, but also to block the street in front of the Embassy. The
police officers inspected the rally-participants at special
checkpoints. As soon as 300 people had passed the checkpoint, the
access to the rally was closed. The participants occupied the whole
square approaching the building of the Embassy. To note, the Armenian
community has not been allowed to approach the Embassy before.
All the Armenian organizations in Moscow - Russian Armenian
Commonwealth, the Union of Armenians of Russia, Moscow Armenian
Community, the Club of Armenian Culture Ararat, and the National Club
"Miabanutyun" participated in the rally. Youth organization -
Association of Armenian Students "Mitk," UAR Youth Organization,
Students Organization of Armenian Apostolic Church Diocese were
especially active. Among the flags of Armenia and the Armenian
organizations in Moscow, were also flags of Russia and Germany. A
group of German volunteers also participated in the rally as well as
the organization Young Lawyers of Russia who bore with them silk
posters condemning the vicious crime in Ottoman Turkey against the
Armenian people and the whole humanity.
According to preliminary calculations, if allowed, the rally
participants would number 1,000 people. They observed the demand of
the police in the course of the rally and displayed civil
consciousness.
