The members of NGOs and youth organizations held a demonstration opposite Komitas statue with the shouts “It has launched...”

“The representatives of our young generation must pay more attention to their country”, they say.

To note; the participants showed the photos of the residents who were forcibly displaced from their homes as new buildings were to be built instead.

Michael Hovhannisyan, one of the initiators, claims that they want to change something in the country.

They had two symbols; the Satan and an angel who were struggling all the time but the angel won in the end.

One of the posters of the rally was dedicated to Zhirayr Sefilyan. Vahe Grigoryan, Sefilyan’s advocate, shared his thoughts with A1+. He is glad to see that Sefilyan’s arrest has aroused not only political but also public interest.

When asked why they chose especially the statue of Komitas as a site of the rally, Arsen Kharatyan, one of the participants said, “Komitas went mad seeing the general picture of the country, the everyday hustle and bustle and the chaos reigning in the country. We put the cynicism existing in the country in the one side of the statue and the serious information our society needs - on the other. The meaning of our words lies behind the messages.”

The messages are as follows, “Hayko will whisper in Eurovision this year...”, “Unprecedented action; once you are granted dual citizenship you will enjoy the third one free of charge...”, “NA endorsed the law on “Exiling the residents” after passing the law on “Property Alienation”.

The rally participants promised to hold the next demonstrations in two weeks' time.
