Sleep-Deprived Thoughts
The Armenian Observer details his thoughts after spending a night with a few thousand Ter-Petrossian supporters camped out on Yerevan’s Liberty Square following Tuesday’s disputed presidential election in Armenia.
These people here - they just want a king, a lot of them. They don’t care for democracy, or electoral fraud. They just want the “daddy” to come and put things right. Then there are some really bright individuals, who sincerely hope for justice and democracy… and there are a bunch of young airheads - rock musicians, their fans… these lot are enjoying themselves. There’s fires, there’s free food that Khachatur Sluqiasyan (Grzo) bought from SAS Supermarket. Ironically, a well informed source tells me, that the young employees of the Supermarket were bussed around town, entering different polling stations and voting. Some of them have voted 30 or 40 times my source tells me.
