LEVON TER-PETROSSIAN VISITS YERABLUR
[07:28 pm] 08 May, 2008

On May 8 the atmosphere in the Military Cemetery
`Yerablur’ was gloomy and depressing. The Yerkrapahs
had their interpretation of the situation. `How can we
be in joy and happiness when our friends are under
arrest?’, they claimed.

Levon Ter-Petrossian, Aram Sargssian, Stepan
Demirchian and other leaders of All-Armenian National
Movement, several members of the `Yerkrapah
Volunteers’ Union’ (YVU), as well as chairmen of
various parties and youth organizations silently
ascended to the tomb of Vazgen Sargssian.

Levon Ter-Petrossian laid a bunch of pink roses on the
tomb of Vazgen Sargssian. He bowed before Greta
Sargssian congratulating her on the public holiday and
showed his membership card of YVU, which Vazgen
Sargssian himself had presented to him.

Sasoun Mikayelian, Myasnik Malkhasian, Hakob Hakobian,
Smbat Ayvazian, Gagik Jhangirian, Mushegh Saghatelian,
Husik Baghdasarian, Hovik Harutyunian, Ashot Zakarian
and other yerkrapahs, who regularly visited Yerablur
on May 8, were not able to pay respect to their dead
friends today. They will have to spend the day under
arrest.

At 9 a.m. members of the `Yerkrapah Volunteers’
Union’, in the head of Chairman Manvel Grigorian
visited their friends’ graves at Yerablur Military
Cemetery. Later on, members of the Republican Party
paid their respect to their dead fellows and
colleagues.
