Today residents of Vanatur settlement staged a protest action near
the National Assembly in support of the detained MP Sasun Mikayelian.

They were accompanied by invalid veteran Arshavir Bozinian. The
protesters had brought a letter with 11 000 signatures of Hrazdan
residents which held, "We urge you to stop groundless persecutions
and restore the detainees enviable reputation. We are sure that
we can solve home affairs ourselves without the intervention of
neighbouring states."

People waited for an answer in the rain. Bozinian intends to stay
there till 6 o’clock to meet the Speaker of the National Assembly
Tigran Torossian after a NA sitting.

"Who knows? Maybe, the 11 000 signatures don’t matter for them,"
he said and added that he must see the NA Speaker to know their
further steps.

The letter was passed to the NA Speaker through "Zharangutiun" MPs
Armen Martirossian and Zaruhi Postanjian.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
