POLICEMEN BROKE INTO JOURNALIST'S PLACE

Marginal artists, adherents of rock subculture and bikers are expected to hold a march today at 2.p.m. under the slogan “Rock vs. Murderer”. The assembly is dedicated to the Genocide victims.

As the City Hall hasn’t endorsed the notification the initiators have decided to gather on a limited scale. The law specifies that a rally of a hundred people can be conducted without submitting a notice with the City Hall.

Today morning three policemen looked in journalist Gayane Arustamian. The latter is one of the organisers of today's march. They attempted to detain the journalist. Gayane Arustamian disobeyed their orders as the policemen didn't present summons.

The policemen informed their chief, Aghasy Kirakossian, of Gayane's behaviour. Kirakossian began yelling at Gayane on the telephone and said the march would surely fail. In reply Gayane Arustamian wondered why the torchlight procession organised by the ARF Dashnaktsutiun was not prohibited like theirs. Her question was left unanswered.

When departing the policemen said to Gayane, “Your efforts will fail. We shall arrest you, anyway.”

Gayane Arustamian is determined to hold the march. She will be carrying posters with the inscriptions, “April 24, 1915: Enver, Taliat, Jemal. March 1: Serzh Sarkissian, Robert Kocharian, Arthur Baghdasarian.”

There is no difference between people murdering 1.5 million or 10 people.

“Every unpunished murder can turn into genocide,” she says.
