About 200 freedom fighters placed flowers to the statue of Martiros Saryan, praised the birthday of the great Armenian painter, and delivered remarks, the Armenian News-NEWS.am reporter informs.

“The scum fired upon the Armenian people six years ago, and Armenia is heading toward destruction thereafter. We will get together to see where we are heading. We have no right to live like this,” Karabakh War veteran Suren Sargsyan said, in particular.

“An indicator will be placed to clarify who had what kind of a past,” freedom fighter Razmik Petrosyan stated in turn.

Opposition Heritage Party Chairman, ex-presidential candidate, former FM, Raffi Hovannisian has joined the protesting Karabakh War veterans.

Following the presidential election that was conducted in Armenia on February 18, 2008, eight demonstrators and two police officers had died during a confrontation between the pro-government and the opposition forces on March 1 in Downtown Yerevan. But no one has yet been brought to account for the killings.
