Protest action against President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan continues
near PACE building in Strasbourg.

To recall, a group of France-based Armenians went on a three-day
sit-down strike during the Armenian President’s visit to Strasbourg.

Gala TV channel quotes journalists Lilit Simonyan as saying that some
Armenian politicians in France are disappointed with the President’s
decision to join the Customs Union and must be willing to express
their protest by means of this strike.

To note, the atmosphere is tense not only outside PACE session, but
inside as well. In particular, Armenian opposition MP Zaruhi Postanjyan
asked Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan at PACE on Wednesday how he
paid the 70mln EUR he has recently lost in a casino in Europe. Sargsyan
replied he has never been in a casino and does not play gambling games.

“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
