    AND THIS IS CALLED TRIBUTE

    With The Appetite Of Repeating "March 1"

    Yesterday at 2.00 p.m. Ter-Petrosyan's supporters and activists, as
    they have already promised gathered in front of Myasnikyan's statue
    to observe the forty days of the victims of "March 1" tragic events.

    Of course it is very difficult to call this gathering a "mourning
    ceremony", it was more like a meeting without orators. Such type
    of ceremonies must be quiet; those who want to pay tribute to the
    victims usually put flowers on the certain place and leave silently.

    But the activists who were missing their meetings used their chance
    to capture the territory and stayed there for around one and a half
    hour. You can ask: "What were they doing there?" Every ten minutes,
    with their fists up shouting: "Le-von President", "Free-dom", and
    "Struggle, struggle to the end".

    And this was not enough, furious, because of the presence
    of the police, whistling all the time. Maybe we really don't
    understand...Maybe this is the way aggressive revolutionaries "mourn"
    the death of the victims - with abuses and blasphemies.

    If those gathered in front of Myasnikyan statue were only shouting
    with their fists up, a group of other activists heaped reproach on the
    police observing social order. This group of activists was demanding
    the police to close the streets and not to allow the cars move by
    that street and trouble the participants of the meeting. Meanwhile
    they attacked the cars, reproaching the drivers and the pedestrians:
    "why don't you joint us can't you see that we are struggling for you",
    this is how the mournful were shouting after the cars.

    Because the police closed the "stage" the demonstrators spread along
    the street thus paralyzing the traffic, for around one and a half
    hour they created a traffic jam in this part of the city.

    Davit Shahnazaryan, Levon Zurabyan, LTP's Press Secretary Arman
    Musinyan, former Foreign Minister Vahan Papazyan, and other members
    of Armenian Pan National Movement were next to the participants of the
    "spontaneous" demonstration.

    Defense lawyer, staff-member of Armenian Pan National Movement Vardan
    Harutyunyan, Leader of Hnchakyan "Sargis Tkhruni" Students' Union
    Narek Galstyan and Leader of the people's Patry Stepan Demirchyan were
    also next to their teammates. So, in reality, there were orators,
    but alas they couldn't reach the "stage". The mournful met Stepan
    Demirchyan with a round of applause.

    The activists of Armenian Pan National Movement, inspired from the
    active participation of the mournful were following the process of
    the demonstration with happy looks, meanwhile, with their mobiles on
    their ears reporting the boss about the situation.

    Davit Shahnazaryan's eyes were shining from happiness; he was
    frequently giving the details of what was going on, with his mobile
    phone, though the revolutionary women with their yell and blasphemies
    in the address of the authorities were not allowing him to speak
    properly, with his boss.

    It was impossible to disconnect, because besides paying tribute to the
    victims the activists of the demonstration were waiting for LTP. At
    the beginning of the demonstration there were rumors that LTP was
    also going to participate in it. But he didn't come into sight.

    After "mourning" for one and a half hour the activists left the
    territory. Before that they managed to inform one another about
    gathering as one in the Republic Square at 20.00 p.m.

    As we know when it gets dark these people become more furious and
    start their work.
