/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On August 31 Yerevan streets will host Free Hugs
campaign. On this day at 5:00 p.m. a group of young people will lead
their ways from the Republic Square to the park of lovers, providing
an opportunity for unselfish embrace to any passerby. According to
tradition, on this even strangers hug each other and share warmth.

The Free Hugs Campaign is a social movement involving individuals
who offer hugs to strangers in public places. The campaign in its
present form was started in 2004 by an Australian man known only by
Juan Mann. Since then people around the world just go to streets with
placards and give Free Hugs to all who wish to embrace.
