YEREVAN. – Past daily of the Republic of Armenia (RA) writes: These days, the decentralized, networked actions by the opposition are gaining great momentum, the culmination of which, as announced, will take place on May 1. A big rally is planned for that day.

According to Past newspaper’s information, another big event is planned in Yerevan before the big rally announced by the opposition. Some people are planning a rally on April 30 at Shahumyan Square, which, by the way, was authorized by the Yerevan Municipality. According to our information, it will be dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Armenian-Russian diplomatic relations. Our sources convey that quite a lot of money has been spent to build a concert stage, provide pop stars, and bring guests from Russia.

By the way, there is information that Moscow also sees very well that the RA authorities are "cold" and indifferent in terms of the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Armenia and Russia, as no large-scale state measures have been taken [in this regard]; instead, in fact, some circles try to fill this gap.

As for those "circles," we learn from the website of the Yerevan Municipality that the [respective] petition of citizen Ashot Galstyan has been taken into account. It is about the same Galstyan who on March 19 had initiated a crowded march to the RF [(Russian Federation)] embassy. All that is known about him is that he is a member of the board of Tigran Urikhanyan's Alliance Party.

“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
