ARMENIAN ACTIVISTS PLAN INDEPENDENCE DAY PROCESSION
17:40 19.09.13
A group of civic activists are organizing a pan-national procession
on September 21 in an effort to big together the different classes
of the Armenian society to celebrate the independence day.
At a news conference on Thursday, one of the initiators of the event,
Karen Tovmsyan, said they are first of all concerned by the President
Serzh Sargsyan's somewhat unexpected decision about joining the
Customs Union.
"The statements which Serzh Sargsyan and the Armenian authorities make
vary from day to day. The Armenian authorities, which have not been
elected by the Armenian people, are very frivolous in their conduct.
The unelected president thinks it unnecessary to let the people know
what he is going to do with the country and its population tomorrow."
Tovmasyan said the group is calling on people to take to the streets
on September 21 to reaffirm the choice which they made 22 years ago
for living independently in they own state.
"The country's social situation is highly dependent on independence.
We, the Republic of Armenia citizens, are the master's of this country,
and it is only for us to decide how we wish to live and with whom. We
even have independence fixed on paper, but it isn't the reality,"
said the activist.
