Actress Arsinée Khanjian was among the protesters gathered in France Square. Protesters were taking photos with her.
“The best thing that my nation could have ever given to me is meeting you and feeling your excitement. I am really grateful that you made this life and future of independent soul come true. The youth is our future, but we have also got parents that granted us this courage. You are our future, there shall be no Armenia without you,” said Arsinée Khanjian.
She is surprised by the latest domestic political developments. Yet: “I believe that we have been simple-minded to think that there is no will in this country. Everybody was so sure that nothing will change in Armenia that we, the Diaspora, started to believe that change is impossible. But you proved that it is indeed possible. I hope that all parties understand on 1 May that people’s voice should be heard, and fair elections will be held. It is impossible to change the whole country in a single day, do not get frustrated!”
