Yesterday was a demonstration day, we will have one today and tomorrow, too.
There weren�t many people, at least I expected more. I was going to say that �it was very poorly organized� but instead I will say �It was NOT organized at all� comparing it to the 1988 Karabakh movement demonstrations and any that I have seen so far. There were no banners and a core within the standing people who could lead them.
After taking some photos and listening a little bit I headed to Baghramian Street, there were 6-7 big busses full of soldiers waiting. Of course nothing happened because I doubt that any of the �demonstration� organizers have the guts for an action, even for a non-violent one. We have a Milosevic situation , but not the people who can take over the Presidential palace and through the pre-filled ballots from the windows.
I overheard the police talking and they were saying that the whole �election thingy� was a show.
The observers declared that, the elections were disaster, but they are not loosing the hope. I.e. either Kocharian has to step down or people have to defend their rights. This means that the West does not recognize the current Armenian government. This is not about who gets elected, it�s about loosing our place in the world politics.
Hopefully till Sunday the democracy will be restored otherwise we will have a dictatorship, since the current regime will know that there is absolutely no opposing power.
