    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 28, NOYAN TAPAN. About a hundred people are taking
    part in peaceful actions in support of the national movement in
    Noyemberian region, Nikol Pashinian, member of the pre-election
    headquarters of the first Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosian,
    stated at the February 28 rally.

    He said that although the number of participants in this action
    is not big, the important thing is that the national movement is
    spreading all over Armenia. "The whole country, all the people must
    struggle against these illegal authorities," N. Pashinian stated. He
    announced that despite police pressure and the fact that the cars
    of rally participants are moved away to "penalty area", there are 90
    tents of sit down strike participants in Freedom Square.

    Nikol Pashinian informed those present that members of special
    detachments continue to stand near Yerevan higher educational
    institutions with the aim of preventing students from taking part in
    actions organized by supporters of L. Ter-Petrosian. At the same time,
    N. Pashinian stated that despite police pressure, a lot of students
    participate in rallies and processions every day, and the students
    of Gyumri Polytechnical Institute have joined the strike of Yerevan
    students.

    During the rally, the call of 60 employees of the National Academy
    of Sciences (NAS) to the Armenian people was read. The employees of
    the NAS call on people not to watch the programs of the television
    companies spreading false information. They appeal to the television
    companies to provide comprehensive coverage of the events in the
    country.
