A group of protesters have taken to downtown Yerevan to express their solidarity with the people of Belarus. They demonstrated outside the Armenian Parliament and then made their way to the Government Building in Republic Square. This comes as mass protests are taking place in Belarus against long-time ruler Alexander Lukashenko who has just won reelection in what many see as a fraudulent election. 

Emil Lazarian: “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
