Hundreds protest against Gul visit to Armenia
Several hundred demonstrators lined the road from Yerevan’s airport on
Saturday to protest against the imminent arrival of Turkish President
Abdullah Gul. (UPDATED)
The hundred of protesters carried Armenian flags and signs reading:
"Recognize the Genocide" and "Open the Border Without Preconditions."
The protesters lined the road from the airport as Gul’s convoy headed
to Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s office for talks.
Gayane Manukian, a spokeswoman for the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation (Dashnaktsutiun) which organised the protest, said
protesters would extend a human chain all along the road from the
airport to the centre of Yerevan.
She said the action would be calm and peaceful.
"There will be no shouting or chanting of slogans," she said.
