Deputy Mayor has given promises
Residents of Yerevan's "zone of alienation" staged another protest action in front of the government building today morning. They say to be going to support the Armenian National Congress (HAK) at the upcoming mayoral election.
"As soon as the election campaign kicks off, I call on the residents of the "alienated zone" to vote for the opposition candidate," says Vachagan Hakobyan, Chairman of the "Protection of Property Rights" NGO.
"We have been struggling for six years and we shall not back off unless we achieve our aim," added protester Mrs. Anahit.
Today fewer protesters were seen in front of the government building. Vachagan Sargsyan says the authorities want to split their movement and do their best to silence them.
"Deputy Mayor Karen Davtyan has promised to support eight protesters. But it doesn't matter. I can take thousands of people to the streets. We shall not yield," said Mr. Sargsyan.
