The Armenian National Congress (ANC) held a procession for the
support of imprisoned ANC activists on November 17.
The procession started near the Khnko-Aper Library in Yerevan. The
protesters made their way along Sayat Nova Street and Teryan Street
towards Republic Square.
They demanded releasing the ANC activists immediately. Head of the ANC
Parliamentary Faction Levon Zurabyan said that Armenian people will
not endure the anti-democratic "tricks" of the incumbent ruling
regime. He thinks that the authorities' behavior demonstrates that it
is senseless to conduct any negotiations with them.
The law-enforcers did not try to disturb the protest action; they only
urged the protesters not to disturb the traffic.
To note, on July 20 the court of general jurisdiction of Kentron and
Nork-Marash administrative communities of Yerevan sentenced the ANC
young activists: Tigran Arakelyan to 6 years in prison, Artak
Karapetyan - to thee years in prison, Sargis Gevorgyan and David
Kiramijyan - to 2 years in prison. Recognizance not to leave is the
measure of restraint for Artak Karapetyan, Sargis Gevorgyan and David
Kiramijyan before the verdict of the superior court instance. Tigran
Arakelyan has been in prison for over a year. Tigran Arakelyan and
Artak Karapetyan are charged with hooliganism and violence against
officials. The Court of Appeal has recently left unchanged the
verdict of the court of general jurisdiction.
