Activists seeking to restore Yerevan’s Pak Shouka (Closed Market) to
its original form, today used traditional Armenian dance as a sign of
protest.
The activists gathered at Mashtots Park and then marched to the site
of the Yerevan landmark.
They argued that traditional dance, just like landmarks, are a part of
Armenian culture that need to be protected.
As before, the activists were met with boos and chants of `Get Lost’
by supporters of the transformation of the landmark into a
supermarket.
As they marched, the activists called on passersby to boycott the new
supermarket and the other Yerevan City stores owned by MP Samvel
Aleksanyan.
