The tent bears the inscription &#8220;We can no longer live like this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As reported by Gyumri-based independent TV station GALA, according to the ARF-D representatives, &#8220;If they wish, [Armenia] citizens participating in the program carry out two functions: they participate in the petition to express their mistrust in the Armenian government and they sign an agreement to which they declare willingness to shape a people&#8217;s government through implementing electoral rights.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With this aim, those participating in the protest have established a civic movement in defence of electoral rights. The movement&#8217;s main issues are &#8220;the special significance of electoral rights in forming a people&#8217;s government in public consciousness and the effective protection of these rights.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A clip from the GALA TV broadcast is presented below (in Armenian).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vnCFtc8QME4?wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen> <\/iframe><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a few days now, representatives of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun or ARF-D) have erected a tent as part of the&#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":120638,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[65942,16268,11606,14237],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120838"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120838\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120638"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
