Flashmob near Russian Embassy: “Where’s my vote”?
Several youth, including two Russians and a Ukrainian organized a flashmob as a sign of solidarity to citizens fighting for their votes in post-electoral Russia in front of the Russian Embassy in Armenia.
The demonstrators emphasized that they weren't politically affiliated and weren't representing any organization.
"We would simply like to underline that we can't be indifferent when people's voices are taken away from them in the post-Soviet countries," demonstrator Daniel told "A1+".
Daniel says even if the elections were fair in Russia, the "United Russians" would still win. However, they are offended by the electoral fraud.
The demonstrators didn't get distracted by the fact that the number of journalists providing coverage and police officers defending social order exceeded that of the demonstrators.
"We're not after holding a huge meeting. We simply want to express our solidarity to those who are fighting for their liberties in Russia. Elections are coming up in Armenia as well. Armenia faces problems as well. Perhaps they are not as huge as those in Moscow, but this is all simply a shame," a demonstrator by the name of Philip said.
The action participants staged an electoral process on the spot and showed how the "voter" votes for the party of his choice, but the party that is elected is the "only right" one after the ballots are counted.
