“Numbering is spiritual genocide”, this is the opinion of a group of
believers who organized an act of complaint opposite the Government
building today. Together with Khachik Stamboltsyan and a group of old
people they prayed and demanded the Government members not to make
them get the social cards. They also demanded their old-age pensions
and the wages they failed to get.

“I do not want to get the devil number”, said Laura Barsegyan, member
of the “Against People’s Numbering” council and noted, “I’m 70 years
old, and I have not received my pension for 6 months. My husband is
dead and I have no children, what shall I do? “.

The participants of the action have written 168 letters to different
parties but they have received no written answers for the past
4 months.

The participants of the action were received by the Government Religion
and National Minorities Administration head Hranoush Kharatyan and
agreed to informed the higher officials about their demands.

By the way, Hranoush Kharatyan informed, that she will tell them about
the demand of the people, but she is not responsible for the results.

The sit-down strike has started and it will continue until “the hungry
people are fed”, informed Khachik Stamboltsyan.
