On February 20, a group of young people organized an automobile rally
and a collection of signatures in Strasbourg, France.
They condemned the January 31 terrorism against the members of the
Founding Parliament members in Berdzor, Karabakh and expressed support
for the Founding Parliament’s initiative held under the slogan `100th
anniversary without regime!’
On January 31, scores of activists representing the Founding
Parliament opposition movement, a successor of the Pre-parliament
pressure group, organized an automobile march to Nagorno-Karabakh as
part of their campaign seeking a regime change in Armenia. Near
Berdzor, they were stopped by local police and a group of plainclothes
men who forcefully blocked their access to the territory of Karabakh.
A number of activists, including Jirayr Sefilyan, a Karabakh war
veteran and a former commander of the Shushi special detachment, were
beaten up during the incident. Also, some vehicles of the automobile
march were damaged.
