The "Miatsum" initiative today staged a protest action in front of the presidential residence against the recently announced Armenian-Turkish Protocols.

"If you don't seek bloodshed, go away in peace," ran Miatsum's poster which incited a skirmish between the protesters and policemen.

The police got indignant after seeing Serzh Sargsyan's photos in posters. They elbowed their way through the crowd and approached the mother of perished Karabakh war hero Edik Torozian. In an instant, the police grasped the poster from Ms. Parandzem and hid it in a police car.

"My son didn't fall for traitors like you. I don't want an illiterate governor, who is ready to surrender the liberated territories," said Ms. Parandzem.

The police didn't allow the protesters to gather near the presidential residence. The action continued in the opposite pavement with the participants chanting: "Go away, hucksters. Only traitors cede territories."

Miatsum's next protest is due on September 25.
