A group of Armenian citizens today gathered in front of the US Embassy
in Armenia, voicing their disagreement with U.S. President's
recognition of Serzh Sargsyan's victory in the February 18
presidential election.
They called on the U.S. to be committed to democratic values and not
to congratulate `the president elected in fake elections.'
"No one has the right to recognize illegitimate authorities without
receiving the consent of people," said Ani Kaghinyan, a participant of
the protest action.
The group has visited almost all embassies in Yerevan but so far no
one has responded to their complaint.
"They do not answer our telephone calls either. This makes us believe
that foreign embassies do not respect citizens of Armenia," said Ani
Kaghinyan.
For her part Ruzanna Grigoryan added that the countries that recognize
Sargsyan's victory have their interests in Armenia.
"Most of mines in Armenia are owned by developed countries. We need to
show these states that in Armenia the power belongs to people."
Tsovinar Nazaryan, another participant of the protest action, said
that with their recognition developed countries hinder establishment
of civil society in Armenia.
One of the participants of the action, Arthur Gevorgyan, handed a
letter to the Head of the Public Affairs Office of the U.S. Embassy in
Armenia. James Land.
