40 days since riots, Serzh Sargsyan’s inauguration, and the Colorful Sky festival at Armenian Patchwork

40 days since riots, Serzh Sargsyan’s inauguration, and the Colorful Sky festival

April 10th, 2008 by anush

Many things happened yesterday. Among those probably the most important was Serzh Sargsyan’s inauguration. For a lot of people though the important was that 40 days have passed since the deaths of 1 March riots.
While people lay flowers at the Myasnikyan monument, close to which the riots began, one could hear Jazz music coming from the Republic Square, where a balloon festival was going to happen later on.
Although I did not try to get a pass to photograph the inauguration ceremony I was told yesterday that even those who were allowed were led to a room where they saw everything on TV.
