5 effigies hung at the square
Participants of the HAK picket expressed their protest at Aznavour Square by bringing a gallows of five hung effigies with the images of Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan.
According to HAK activist Sergey Gasparyan, the effigies are the symbol of the freedom, justice, free press, human rights and democracy that Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan sacrificed. In the meantime, the EU-Armenia conference was being held at "Yerevan" Hotel on those issues.
"Since this international conference is devoted to human rights across Europe, we are trying to draw the participants' attention to what is taking place in Armenia," says HAK representative Vladimir Karapetyan. According to him, they must make Europe be more consistent in its demands.
During the picket, the participants of the conference were coming out, approaching demonstrators and the HAK representatives were providing them with information in written form.
