What Does The Map Of The Neo-Bolsheviks Testify To The area near
Myasnikyan Square was not accidentally chosen by the neo-Bolsheviks on
March 1, neither did the demonstrators spontaneously decide or ordered
to gather in that very day. That part of the capital city has many
times been "exploited" by the revolutionaries they have many times
held protest marches in that area owning every lane and cul-de-sac,
every tree and bush.
Have you ever thought why the leaders of the neo-Bolsheviks chose a
concrete route, before or during the demonstrations?
In this context to what extent was it logical to pass by the
Prosecutor's and reach Myasnikyan-Shahumyan Square during the protest
march? What did the demonstrators demand from the Prosecutor's at
that time? If you remember the Prosecutor's didn't interfere in the
active demonstrations, held in the Theatrical Square immediately
after the elections. Or why did they march to the Municipality? They
could put forward their demands in front of the government building,
the Constitutional Court, the National Assembly or the Presidential
Residence.
But no! The route of the march was specifically chosen. It was
elaborated by Levon's followers, they took the map and thoroughly
planned their route.
Thus the protest-march starting from the Theatrical Square as a rule
crossed Northern Avenue, then near the Prosecutor's and Shahumyan
Square reached Myasnikyan Square, then up to Vazgen Manukyan and
Mashtots streets. What was the sense of all this?
The thing is, by organizing marches through these streets the leaders
of the neo-Bolsheviks were familiarizing the demonstrators with the
locations, because lots of people were from the villages and they
didn't know even the names of the streets and they were not familiar
with the very part of the city where the headquarter had already
planned to realize March 1-2 military actions.
Lets observe one episode from the interception of the telephone
conversation between the head of the pre-election headquarter Alik
Arzumanyan with Vahagn Hayotsyan on February 22, at 12.38 p.m.
A.A. "Are you up my friend?"
V.H. "Yes."
A.A. "What did you plan regarding the route?"
V.H. "Let me go through the map, later I will bring it."
A.A. "Just do something, because we are planning to meet at 1.00.
Let's see what we are going to do."
The continuation of the conversation at 13.01 p.m.
V.H. "I'm coming. Before you finish I will bring the route."
A.A. "Yes because maybe we will change the place of the meeting."
This conversation testifies that the route of the protest marches
have been thoroughly planned, which means they had a conventional
map of the march, which we bring to our readers' attention.
Thus on the map you can see the central area of "March 1" developments,
where Levon's followers gathered, coming to Myasnikyan Square from
different parts of the capital city. It's worth mentioning that when
the demonstrators where displaced from the Theatrical Square in the
morning of March 1, they were well aware, where should they go and at
what time should they go. And even those who didn't or couldn't go
to Shahumyan and Myasnikyan Squares through the Northern Avenue by
an organized march, they knew their route by heart and they reached
there. The areas, which the revolutionaries turned into barricades,
are shown on the map. There were barricades near French and Italian
Embassies, in Grigor Lusavorich and Italy streets, the demonstrators
have occupied and closed Grigor Lusavorich-Zakyan streets, Beirut
Street was also closed and barricaded. They have occupied the street,
which takes to Grigor Lusavorich from hotel "Metropol".
They have all gathered in front of Myasnikyan Square, from "VivaCell"
to the school after Mayakovsky and from the other side - to Mashtots
Avenue.
It's worth mentioning that the demonstrators didn't move forward by
their occupied territories, the direction took to Mashtots Avenue,
Paronyan, and Leo Streets.
And the most interesting thing is that the leaders of the
neo-Bolsheviks continued to stay near Myasnikyan Square and the more
aggressive ones, on which the authors of the coup d'état completely
relied, by the instruction of the leaders, moved to Mashtots Avenue,
Leo-Paronyan streets, that is to say the National Assembly and the
governmental country houses (where the plunder took place and people
were killed).
A question arises here, nevertheless why did they choose Myasnikyan
Square for "March 1" demonstration, which didn't have demonstrational
traditions and was not comfortable for holding political
events. Matenadaran is a better place for similar initiatives.
The thing is the path taking to Baghramyan from Matenadaran was near
but very obvious and LTP didn't want to open his cards in the middle
of the game."
