Young activists of the opposition Heritage party organized on Thursday
a protest rally outside the Presidential Office to ‘bury’ what they
called Serzh Sargsyan’s fake inauguration for a second term.
The group had prepared a cardboard coffin containing a “Fake
Inauguration” slogan. After turning it around three times, they headed
to Liberty Square for a further burial ceremony.
The protesters were wearing plastic paper files featuring Raffi
Hovhannisian’s “oath” text.
The crowd was accompanied by policeman.
Hovhannisian, who was Serzh Sargsyan’s runner-up in the February 18
election, rallied supporters in Yerevan Liberty Square on April 9
to mark the “inauguration” of his New Armenia. The crowd then held
a procession across the streets of Yerevan. Late in they came into
a clash with the police in Baghramyan Avenue.
