FREE, INDEPENDENT ARMENIA

  Several hundred thousands people who gathered in the Freedom Square, North Avenue, Tumanyan Street, and cafes surrounded the square were crying the above mentioned slogan.

 A week passed after the lections but the Freedom square is still full of people. The number of gathered people was about half a million in Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s words. And this is thank to Serge Sargsyan since the people who have brought for Serge Sargsyan’s meeting from different regions escaped from the RPA meeting and joined the Freedom Square participants.

RA First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan addressed his speech to Robert Kocharyan and Serge Sargsyan: “I call you, Robert and Serzhik, be clever, you should understand what happens in this country. Be brave enough to come here. We will receive you. You can come from the back door of the Opera House, red carpet will wait for you till the microphone. Send in your resignation from here and then leave. “Now, now”,- the gathered people cried. Levon Ter-Petrosyan also called the NA parliamentarians: “Your nation is here, leave your building and come here”. RA First President also noticed that the authorities try to explain their adherents arrest as if they wanted to hold a revolution. Then calling the dancing square confirmed “yes, we are holding a revolution, but not a color revolution, there is no color here. There is a revolution of dance and song.” Ter-Petrosyan also added: “Today is a holiday, today are song, dance and victory” and asked the 17 representatives of hunger strike to stop it.

Though the policemen tried to prevent the march but it was held. It passed Mashtots avenue, entered Amiryan Street and Republic Square and returned Freedom Square, it passed very peacefully and without any incident bringing with it the people who had to participate in Serge Sargsyan’s meeting. They entered the Square with dirty flags with Serge  Sargsyan’s motto and threw it on the ground. Ter-Petrosyan thanked them saying: “We bow before you, your awareness and innocence”.
