Anti-president rally held in Armenian capital
Representatives of AntiFake.am website and Civic Consciousness NGO carried out a joint symbolic campaign in the Armenian capital on Friday, July 5 marking the Constitution Day in the country.
The campaign titled “Save Constitution” started from 1 Baghramyan Avenue in downtown Yerevan. The participants next headed to the Armenian presidential residence.
The purpose of the symbolic action is to draw the Armenian citizens’ attention to the fact that President Armen Sarkissian, whose main function is to supervise the enforcement of the Constitution, not only turns a blind eye to the cases of its violation by various officials, but also breaches the Constitution himself, the head of AntiFake.am, Narek Samsonyan said.
The participants blew up white balloons featuring photos of the president, prime minister and other top officials during the rally.
After the action, the participants gifted the Armenian Constitution to passengers on different streets.
