A group of people have gathered today in front of foreign embassies in Armenia protesting against the congratulations of the presidents of the countries on Serzh Sargsyan's re-election.
The demonstration started from French embassy where the protesters handed a letter addressed to the ambassador. The letter says that they are deeply disappointed with the French president's assessment of the elections and his congratulation addressed to non-elected president.
"We want to see such manifestation of democratic values that is proper to declared European states. With your activities or inactivity you have no right to devalue the moral capital formed among the people of Armenia and which the European people formed during the years. Such policy will result in the loss of our trust and creation of gap between Europe and Armenia," the letter runs.
Afterwards, the participants moved to Italian embassy in Armenia where they handed the same content letter to the Italian ambassador.
The participants also went to the Russian embassy but the police did not allow them to approach the building. One of the demonstrators was allowed to drop the letter to the post box.
