What is the Real Face of Armenia? A Video Response

A user by the name of “isthereamiracle08” and Lala Aslikyan have posted on YouTube a re-edited version (titled “Who is Armenia?”) of the state-sponsored promotional video featuring the slogan “You are Armenia” dedicated to celebrating the 20th anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Armenia.

Clips of happy smiling youth from the original are intercut with scenes of hazing in the army, demonstrations, police brutality and persecution of journalists, opposition leaders and human rights activists. The song from the original has remained unchanged.
