Armenian environmentalists held an action of protest against the
Armenian-Turkish protocols in front of the RA Government. Policemen
tried to prevent the action.
The policemen tore the placards apart and demanded that the
participants leave the place. The Parliament member Zaruhi Postanjyan
of the Heritage Party of Armenia designated the policemen’s actions
as a crime. She reported that the action participants planned to march
from the RA Government to the resident of the RA President. Among the
participants was Zhirair Kocharian, a specialist in Armenian studies
at the University of Berlin. He said that after being signed the
Armenian-Turkish protocols are already affecting the international
recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
According to him, recent conference in Munich attended by Armenian,
Greek and other scholars did not discuss the Armenian Genocide at all,
whereas the issue was a priority at similar conferences before the
protocols were signed.
