CONSTITUTION DAY IN THE STREET
With the slogans `White Genocide’, `Justice’ the residents of the North and
Main Avenues, who were expelled from their houses, gathered today at the
President’s residence and then marched to the building of the Constitutional
Court.
`The Constitution does not exist. Today, by decree of the government a white
genocide is perpetrated’, one of the protesters said. Raffi K. Hovannisian,
chairman of Heritage party and Ombudsman Larisa Alaverdyan were the only
officials to approach the people. They told they share the anxiety of the
demonstrators and agree with their claims.
While the demonstrators were demanding the importance of following the
Constitution, those, who celebrated the holiday were speaking of the
importance of implementation and strengthening of constitutional culture.
To note, a cake called `RA Constitution’ was baked specially for the
holiday, however none of the officials tasted a piece in the presence of
journalists.
