YEREVAN. – Armenian opposition National Self-Determination Union (NSU) Chairman, ex-presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan and his supporters on Saturday commenced their march from capital city Yerevan’s Liberty Square toward the Presidential Palace.    

At the presidential residence, the protesters will demand from President Serzh Sargsyan not to take Armenia to the Russian-led Customs Union, but rather to seek European Union membership (PHOTOS).

Chanting, “Free, independent Armenia,” about fifty people are marching toward the Presidential Palace, whereas the NSU leader is heading there on a GAZelle-model minibus.

“Since the microphone of the loudspeaker is connected to the GAZelle, Hayrikyan is coming with the GAZelle so he can speak with the loudspeaker” the marchers explained.
