PROSTEST AGAINST ARMENIA'S MEMBERSHIP IN CUSTOMS UNION IN FRONT OF PRESIDENTIAL RESIDENCE
15:06 04.09.13
A protest against Armenia's joining the Customs Union has started in
front of the Armenian presidential residence.
The number of participants is increasing. They have arrived with
"USSR" ice creams in their hands, hinting that Armenia is actually
moving toward the restoration of the USSR.
The protesters are demanding Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's
resignation. David Sanasaryan, a Heritage party member, told
journalists that "some backboned citizens" gathered to warn the
"unelected" president or other officials to play with Armenia's
sovereignty.
"We have come to warn them against this step," he said.
After the protesters attempted to cross Baghramyan Avenue toward
the presidential residence, they clashed with policemen. A number of
protesters were detained. Chairman of the Asparez club Levon Barseghyan
and Chairman of the National Self-Determination Union Paruyr Hayrikyan
participated in the protest.
Hayrikyan told journalists that this issue must be settled by means
of a referendum rather than by President Serzh Sargsyan alone.
