Today the residents of North Avenue, Buzand Street, the owners of
Dalma gardens and the representatives of various parties organised
a rally of protest opposite the President’s residence.
"A broom was swinging" beside Robert Kocharyan’s residence. Mrs. Klara
claimed that the broom "had been brought to clean the country".
"Kocharyan, go away!" shouted over 100 citizens opposite the
president’s residence. Some of them had posters with the following
words, "Civil Disobedience".
The rally participants divided into two groups; one group assembled
at the entrance of "Baghramian" metro station, the other – opposite
the president’s residence.
"Are they afraid of women?", wondered Susanna Haroutyunuyan, member of
"Armenian Women" Council.
Former resident of North Avenue Gohar Asatryan was indignant at the
news that Robert Kocharyan wants Serge Sargsyan to be appointed in
his post. People want neither Robert Kocharyan nor Serge Sargsyan as
their president. "People don’t want to be ruled by robbers".
Alongside with other claimed, the rally participants demanded the
authorities to vote down the bill on "Alienantion of Property for
State and Public Needs".
Ruzanna Ohanyan, one of the residents of North Avenue says that this
is an appalling bill which will deprive her children of the right to
property in the future.
"My children still want to live in Armenia. They don’t want to abandon
Armenia and they want their property to be protected by law".
By the way, today the police forces could keep the strikers away from
the president’s residence.
Hardly had the strikers gone away, when the gates opened and the OSCE
Minsk Group delegation entered the residence.
