Congratulations Ara!!!
March 8th-- women�s day --a wonderful early spring day in Yerevan. The streets full of field flowers and warmth.
Around 4:30 - on Baghramian street (where the Presidential palace and the Parliament building are located among various embassies), the scene changes, thousands of angry women, some with their children, with flowers and banners marching and chanting � Go away Kocharian� , �Shame on you�.
I have been told that while passing by the French and Italian embassies the Embassies� staff has accepted the protesters� �Thank Yous� with warmth and speech. On the other hand the protestors shouted � Shame !!! � in front of the Russian embassy, because Russian President Putin�s haste to congratulate Mr. Kocharian as a winner in the presidential elections. The diplomacy has lost it�s sense in Armenia now days.
I was impressed by the magnitude and readiness of the women protestors. Everything went without any disturbances. No road blocks, no police intimidation, no insults from both sides� everybody knows that we are the same nation: being an angry protester, a policemen, or a soldier waiting for the orders.
In couple of hours there is going to be another demonstration I have been informed.
