Despite today’s severe cold more than 1000 people gathered at
"Theatrical" Square of Gyumri to voice support for "GALA" TV Company
and freedom of expression.

Chairman of "Asparez" Club Levon Barseghian, Leader of the
"Alternative" Initiative Nikol Pashinian, Petros Makeyan and OYP
member Hovhannes Margarian, made addressing speeches.

Reminder: GALA has been subjected to pressure since September 21,
after broadcasting Levon Ter-Petrossian’s speech at Liberty Square.

The rally ended with shouts, "Freedom, Freedom!"

A number of Yerevan residents joined the rally participants with
posters, "Independent civilians of Yerevan support you."

“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
