Another Opposition Demonstration in Yerevan

After almost everybody realizes the extent of the falsification that defined Sunday’s referendum to amend the constitution, the opposition held another political rally in central Yerevan today. Deprived of electricity, a portable generator had to be moved in to power the amplifiers to preach to the converted, albeit it gathered in larger numbers than yesterday. But then, disaster…

The microphone breaks down, and so does the spare, so out with a megaphone that only occasionally works.

Finally, the microphone works again for Maestro Ohan Durian, but it’s too late. The opposition postpone their “decisive action” until Friday when it’s unlikely that they’ll have any greater success unless they can somehow convince Artashes Geghamian of the National Unity party to bring his supporters with him.
