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.
