The people of Gyumri take to the streets as the body of Seryozha
Avetisyan is being transported to Gyumri from Yerevan. The streets are
crowded. Vahan Tumasyan, chair of Shirak Center NGO, told Lragir.am
that people have arrived in Gyumri from different parts of the country
to bid farewell to Seryozha Avetisyan.

People are waling to Saint Nshan Church where the wake of the baby
will take place. “The city is waiting for Seryozha’s transportation
from Yerevan. About two hours ago the Municipality of Gyumri has sent
a special car to Yerevan to transport the baby,” Tumasyan said.

Plenty of policemen are on duty in the city. The Russian district is
guarded by the police. The police has put up a fence around Saint
Nshan Church. Serzh Sargsyan is expected to arrive in Gyumri.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
