In the evening of March 21, 2008, an action in commemoration of victims of recent civil disorders was held in Yerevan. REGNUM correspondent has reported that after the police, step by step, started pushing back the people from the Freedom Square, the rally spontaneously proceeded towards a square before the France's embassy and Alexander Miasnikyan Monument. The people came with candles, black ribbons, and photographs of arrested participants of early March events.

At the same time, the action participants started to stand in line along the roadside, up to the very Miasnikyan Monument and embassies of Italy and France, holding photographs of the arrested protesters, candles, and flowers, tied with black ribbons. The square itself was surrounded by the police.

The action participants asked the police to let them approach the monument, in order to lay flowers in commemoration of victims of March 1-2 events, but the police let in only five of them.

In the meantime, the police tried to establish, who organized the rally, to remind, that the procession to the monument was not sanctioned.They addressed ex-head of National Security Ministry David Shahnazaryan, who was present at the event, but he explained that he was not an organizer and that everybody had come by their own will and decided for themselves what to do.

No meaningful incidents or clashes with the police happened during the event, the people went home peacefully.

The event is expected to be repeated on March 22.

To remind, on this square, at night on March 1, clashes between protesters and law enforcers occurred. According to official information, 8 people died and about 200 were injured as a result of the events.
