A group of Armenians waved the Armenian flag at the European Council
building today. Over a dozen people rode from Paris to Strasbourg to
complain of the Armenian authorities and demand that the EC have an
effect on them. They were mainly RA citizens.

The demonstration was organized by the Armenian Committee for Democracy
recently founded in Paris.

The Committee handed a letter to the PACE MPs. As one of the
demonstrators informed they demanded "a dialogue with Levon
Ter-Petrossian’s team, liberation of political prisoners, fair
investigation of March 1 events, permission for demonstrations."

By the way the demonstration was legal.
