MEETING OF RIVAL TEAMS

Politics

The teachers of School 127 have crowded near the Government building since early morning. They turned out to have been forced to Serzh Sarkissian's rally.

Just at that moment a group of young Javakhki Armenians appeared from Sakharov Square. They were holding posters with appeals, “Onward, Armenia,” “Javakhki Armenians are with you.” Representatives of the “Union of the Armenians of Georgia” called on them to unite for the sake of Armenia and to second Serzh Sarkissian.

One of the participants told us that they had been taken to the rally on 18 minibuses.

The crowd directed to Liberty Square. All of a sudden they turned back and walked along Abovian Street.

“If you hold a march you should arrange everything beforehand,” the participants said indignantly.

In Abovian Street the crowd ran into representatives of the ARF Dashnaktsutiun. The incident provoked laughter in the rival groups.

In the main today's march was disorganised. Weird quietness reigned at Liberty Square today. People crowded here and there keeping silent. The stage was almost invisible because of huge posters.

No sooner had Serzh Sarkissian begun to speak than the crowds began dispersing.

To note, most people had come from Armenian regions by buses and microbuses. Some of them didn't even go out and waited for their friends on buses.
