Facebook Group ‘Against Illegal Police Actions’ Attemps to Unite Youth

On Sept. 24, Armenian National Congress (HAK) youth created a group in Facebook and Odnoklassniki (“Classmates” in Russia; a social networking site popular in Russia and other former Soviet Republics) called “Against Illegal Police Actions.”

Speaking to Epress.am by phone, HAK activist Sargis Gevorgyan said this initiative is the continuation of a statement made by HAK youth about a month ago, in which it said (approximately), “Armenian National Congress youth, at any moment, in any place, will intervene in illegal police actions.”

“Through the groups created in the two social networking sites, we will attempt to unite those youth who are not afraid of voicing illegal actions by the police. We call on all students and youth to actively join the group, so that, with joint forces, we can fight against illegal actions, and, with joint efforts, to realize our dream to live in a Free and Independent Armenia,” said Gevorgyan, adding that people are already quickly joining the group.
