The mothers and relatives of soldiers who died in peace and simply citizens concerned about the future of Armenia are marching from the government building to the presidential residence where they will hold a silent action.

The goal of the action participants is to make Serzh Sargsyan see and realize how many soldiers have been killed in peace.

"400 soldiers have died during Serzh Sargsyan's term in office. These people are here because blood is valuable for them," action participant Arakel Semirjyan said.
Before the march began, the mothers dressed in black made a couple of spins around the center of Republic Square as a sign of protest, after which they moved toward the Prosecutor General's office and stood there silent for a couple of minutes.

The action participants held photos and signs showing the soldiers who had died in peace in the army reading "Won't send my to an army of cannibals" and "We're not blind, stop the violence".

The participants of the "Action of Those Dressed in Black" didn't receive any response from government officials or representatives of the Prosecutor General's office. There to support them was NA "Heritage" faction head Stepan Safaryan.
