Thanks for revving up the masses, handing out weapons to your zombies and driving the bus to the edge of the cliff knowing that the authorities will react. All this happened while Levon was in his warm mansion with a full belly while the yearning people got their heads kicked in. (sound familiar from 12, 13, 17 yrs ago???) He is good at this setup. And after each such episode, he gains more followers. Amazing. Welcome back to politics Levon.
