Support A1+!«Shame on you», «Leave, traitors»... These were what the victims of «state needs», the former residents of the center of the city said while walking from the Parliament building to the Constitutional Court where the participants of the civic disobedience movement were waiting for them. By the way, the participants of the protest action carried brooms which have already become their symbol.
As far as today is the first anniversary of the Constitutional referendum, the residents of Kentron had gathered to express their discontent with the members of the Constitutional Court. «Last year the Armenian nation boycotted the farce. Today we have come to express our discontent with the members of the Constitutional Court who close their eyes to the illegal actions of the authorities. At present they are adopting an anti-constitutional law about alienation of property», said founder of the Civic Disobedience movement, former Foreign Minister Alik Arzoumanyan.
He called on those present, «This movement will become more and more powerful day by day. Our only demand is that Kocharyan and his criminal group should leave. We will not wait for the recurrent illegal elections».
Arkadi Karapetyan, head of the NKR «Erkrapah» Union, said, «We protected this country during war. Today we are ready to protect it in peace too».
Residents of both the city and the regions participated in the protest action. Elmira Kostandyan, owner of Dalma gardens, held a broom in her hands and promised to sweep everything unclean in the country. Another old man from the regions demanded, «Let's take an ax and put an end to this situation».
After the speeches the participants of the action moved on to the Parliament building again as the deputies were discussing the RA Law on «Alienation of property for state and needs».
