Lawmaker of the Armenian National Congress (HAK) Aram Manukyan started his speech during today’s opposition rally in Vanadzor city by scolding people. "Sevan, Gyumri and Gavar have taken to the street in protest against the change in the sales tax. Where are you? I cannot hear your voice.  Do you agree that they [authorities] treat people like donkeys? You are too humble and too modest. Why are you so helpless?  It's a shame,” said Mr Manukyan. “It is shameful that your children and grandchildren are leaving Armenia. How long are you going to put up with this situation? When are you going to erect your posture and rebel?” he continued. “Rise up, it is enough to sleep, rise up to defend your rights.” “We are witnessing a real genocide,” he said. “We shall commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Genocide in empty Armenia. Our country will turn into a province if we do not wake up and take preventive actions.”
