"Do not get offended"
The Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun held a rally at Yerevan's Charles Aznavour Square at 6:30 September 2.
"Don't get offended. Our divergence is not connected with persons signing the Protocols. We would raise a similar wave of protest if the Protocols were signed by Armenia's first and second presidents," ARF Leader Vahan Hovhannisyan announced during today's rally.
Despite the heavy rain, people gathered at the square to voice protest against August 31 Protocols between Armenia and Turkey.
They were carrying posters, "Artsakh is a part of Armenia," "Armenian spirit will not surrender," "No concessions to Turkey!"
In his addressing speech, ARF member Gegham Manukyan congratulated the ralliers on Karabakh's independence.
Leader of the ARF parliamentary faction Vahan Hovhannisyan read out the Protocols and criticized Armenia's foreign policy.
Mr. Hovhannisyan thinks Armenia has diverted from security norms.
He also thanked the presentees for confiding in the Party and ralling at Aznavour Square.
The meeting ended at 8:00.
