“Our group moving from Ijevan to Yerevan has just entered the square. Please welcome them. The group from Aparan joins us from Baghramyan, the group from Sardarapat enters the square from Mashtots Avenue, and the group from Tigranashen will enter from Sayat Nova shortly,” ARF Dashnaktsutyun Supreme Body representative, RA NA Deputy Speaker Ishkhan Saghatelyan stated in France Square.
The demonstrators entered the square chanting “Armenia without Turks”, “Union, struggle, victory”. Ishkhan Saghatelyan announced, “We said a few days ago that it was not accidental that the drones brought from Bash Aparan and Sardarapat are here today.
Protocol No. 1. The bell rang, the bell of the new Bash-Aparan, Sardarapat, the new awakening of the Armenian people came. During the past week, the Armenian people proved that they have stood up, rejecting the political line of power of the day. The government of the day has no mandate to make new concessions to the country.

Protocol No. 2. The Armenian people took to the streets together and told the whole world that they were the masters of their destiny and future. The Armenian people decide that they own Artsakh, they own Armenia, and they stated that the fate of the Armenian people does not depend on Aliyev and Nikol.
May 1 is a historic day for us. May 1 is the day of the awakening of the Armenian people. It is the beginning of our unity, consolidation, straightening our backs, and going to the final victory. So the main, most important question is what we should do, for which we are dealing in the coming days. During the passing days, we finally solved the issue that the current government has no mandate to make concessions to the country. Now we have to show that not only do they not have a mandate, but also power. Together, we are moving forward.” The demonstrators sang the song “Wake up Child (Zartnir Lao)” together, changing the words to, “Nikol wants to eradicate us, wake up child, I will die for you.”
