What to do when the enemy, who does not recognize your existence in your homeland, demands that flags be removed from Armenian combat positions? I think the answer is clear - start displaying the flag as much as possible in various places," Vardanyan wrote. 

Lawyer Varazdat Harutyunyan has joined the flashmob: "I am a strong support of the idea of unification of Armenia with Artsakh disregarding the concept of self-determination and independence of Artsakh as an invented outcome of our legal political thought. I have hanged the Artsakh flag as an act of complaint and reminder to call on all friends to follow it. Fill the streets of Armenia with Artsakh flag. The story of our  initiative.national liberation struggle is yet to be written," Harutyunyan wrote.
