Members and supporters of the opposition resistance movement held a march in support of Armenia’s Constitution in Yerevan on 5 July marked as Constitution Day in the country.
The protesters headed towards the Constitutional Court holding posters that read “Arrests can't intimidate us!”, “No to dictatorship!", "Freedom to political prisoners!", “Armenia is a country of political prisoners” and the like, as well as a large model of the Constitution in chains. Also, they held photos of scores of arrested opposition activists.
Speaking to reporters at the march, ARF activist Sevak Nazaryan accused the current authorities of repeatedly violating the Constitution and seizing the country’s supreme court.
"The incumbent authorities have been trampling and distorting the Constitution in an effort to maintain their grip on power,” he said.
