Just a question: were there a lot of flags of the Republic of Armenia?!?

I have the impression that the ones who usually go on a flag-waving fest are Tashnagtsagan......

Anyway, not that I have a problem with flags, but I just don't see what flags have to do with this. But the ARF can come up with something "nationalistic" out of, literally, anything. That's a shame, and a huge turnoff. I always took a liking to the ARF, but lately I've grown very cold towards them. I don't know why.; 5:36 AM
Raffi K. said...: No - no flags. There were banners this year, something I had not noticed in the past, and which I did not like at all. I prefer the simpler laying of a flower to honor the memory...; 8:13 AM

Especially in the morning I did see quite a few flags, but not anymore in the afternoon. Most of the flags I saw were carried by members of groups going up to the memorial, but I was too far off, though, to read any of the banners they were carrying.; 12:58 PM
