PROTESTERS LIE IN FRONT OF VEHICLE TO BAN ITS MOVE

05:00 pm | Today | Politics

More people are joining the environmental activists who are holding a
non-stop protest in Yerevan’s Mashtots Park against the municipality’s
decision to install dismantled kiosks on the green space.

Deputy Head of Yerevan Police Robert Melkonyan (nicknamed Bazaz)
told the activists that at about 4p.m. representatives from the
municipality would arrive at the park to talk to the group.

The situation is rather tense on the site. Protesters have laid in
front the concrete-mixing transport truck, blocking it from moving
forward.

Some 100 people have gathered in the park.

“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
