11.07.2013 23:19 epress.am
Local art activist group Hakaharvadz (“counterstrike” or “counterblow”)
today held another protest on Mashtots Ave. near Pushkin St.
Two days after protestors wearing Guy Fawkes masks in Yerevan attempted
to march to the presidential residence located at 26 Baghramyan
Ave. but failed after clashing with police, young artist activists
spread a more than 20-meter-long banner across Mashtots Ave.
with the slogan “Toward Baghramyan 26” (that is, toward the
presidential residence). Though cars stopped or slowed down for a
time, mostly they drove over it, all the way till the banner reached
the intersection of Mashtots and Tumanyan.
