Armenian communists held a number of events devoted to the 89th
anniversary of the Great October Revolution on November 7.

By tradition, about 200 activists and supporters of the Communist
Party of Armenia (CPA) visited the monuments for one of the first
heads of the Armenian Soviet Government Alexander Myasnikyan and Head
of Baku Commune Stepan Shahumyan.

First Secretary of CPA Central Committee Ruben Tovmasyan said at a
mini-rally near the monument for A. Myasnikyan: "One can see oligarchs
and their hangers-on instead of ordinary working people in Armenia
and understand how urgent are the ideals of the Great October that
secured the right to education, rest and labor to the workers and
peasants, and to the working intellectuals".

After the events in Yerevan, CPA leadership left for the village
of Lernamerdz, Armavir region, to visit the bust of Vladimir Ilyich
Lenin. The local pioneer organization presented a small literature
party in the village center.
