AND THIS IS CALLED TRIBUTE

With The Appetite Of Repeating “March 1”

Yesterday at 2.00 p.m. Ter-Petrosyan’s supporters and activists, as they have already promised gathered in front of Myasnikyan’s statue to observe the forty days of the victims of “March 1” tragic events.
Of course it is very difficult to call this gathering a “mourning ceremony”, it was more like a meeting without orators. Such type of ceremonies must be quiet; those who want to pay tribute to the victims usually put flowers on the certain place and leave silently.
But the activists who were missing their meetings used their chance to capture the territory and stayed there for around one and a half hour. You can ask: “What were they doing there?” Every ten minutes, with their fists up shouting: “Le-von President”, “Free-dom”, and “Struggle, struggle to the end”.
And this was not enough, furious, because of the presence of the police, whistling all the time. Maybe we really don’t understand…Maybe this is the way aggressive revolutionaries “mourn” the death of the victims – with abuses and blasphemies.
If those gathered in front of Myasnikyan statue were only shouting with their fists up, a group of other activists heaped reproach on the police observing social order. This group of activists was demanding the police to close the streets and not to allow the cars move by that street and trouble the participants of the meeting. Meanwhile they attacked the cars, reproaching the drivers and the pedestrians: “why don’t you joint us can’t you see that we are struggling for you”, this is how the mournful were shouting after the cars.
Because the police closed the “stage” the demonstrators spread along the street thus paralyzing the traffic, for around one and a half hour they created a traffic jam in this part of the city.
Davit Shahnazaryan, Levon Zurabyan, LTP’s Press Secretary Arman Musinyan, former Foreign Minister Vahan Papazyan, and other members of Armenian Pan National Movement were next to the participants of the “spontaneous” demonstration.
Defense lawyer, staff-member of Armenian Pan National Movement Vardan Harutyunyan, Leader of Hnchakyan “Sargis Tkhruni” Students’ Union Narek Galstyan and Leader of the people’s Patry Stepan Demirchyan were also next to their teammates. So, in reality, there were orators, but alas they couldn’t reach the “stage”. The mournful met Stepan Demirchyan with a round of applause.
The activists of Armenian Pan National Movement, inspired from the active participation of the mournful were following the process of the demonstration with happy looks, meanwhile, with their mobiles on their ears reporting the boss about the situation.
Davit Shahnazaryan’s eyes were shining from happiness; he was frequently giving the details of what was going on, with his mobile phone, though the revolutionary women with their yell and blasphemies in the address of the authorities were not allowing him to speak properly, with his boss.
It was impossible to disconnect, because besides paying tribute to the victims the activists of the demonstration were waiting for LTP. At the beginning of the demonstration there were rumors that LTP was also going to participate in it. But he didn’t come into sight.
After “mourning” for one and a half hour the activists left the territory. Before that they managed to inform one another about gathering as one in the Republic Square at 20.00 p.m.
As we know when it gets dark these people become more furious and start their work.

As you know People like David Shahnazarian, etc, including LTP can walk on the street and hand shake the citizens without worrying about anyone spitting in their face and being insulted. Unfortunately, Serzhik, Robik can't.
