HINDERED, BUT…
Support A1+!Members of the “Miatsum” national initiative left for Ijevan today to hold a meeting with citizens in the Culture Home of Ijevan. The members had scheduled the showing of the film by Tigran Khzmalyan on liberated lands and issues of citizens of Javakhk, which was supposed to be followed by a discussion with the theme “Armenia’s liberated lands and the future of Armenian statehood”.
However, the mayor of Ijevan refused to submit a written reply to NA Deputy Zaruhi Postanjyan to use the hall of the Culture Home, while Ijevan police and National Security Service officials had begun pressure to prevent the gathering of people in the “Fountains” square.
As members approached the closed doors of the Culture Home, they organized a meeting on their own in the “Fountains” square with the locals. With the microphone in their hands, Zaruhi Postanjyan, Alek Yenigomshyan, Alexander Kananyan and Grizelda Ghazaryan touched upon the consequences of the administration’s intentions to hand over liberated lands of Armenia and the impermissibility in strategic terms.
According to members of the “Miatsum” national initiative, “police and the NSS officers made an attempt to threaten citizens gathered at the meeting. Despite all hindrances, the meeting with residents of Ijevan took place in a friendly environment.”
