Activists in Karabakh support Serzh Sargsyan's opponents in Armenia

Five residents of Stepanakert have held an action, urging Serzh Sargsyan, a former Armenian president, appointed today to the post of Prime Minister, to quit politics.

The voting at the parliament was held against mass protests in Yerevan and other cities of the country. Activists are unhappy with the fact that the former president will again lead Armenia.

Five young people came out with leaflets "Reject Serzh", Tigran Grigoryan, a political scientist and a member of the oppositional National Revival Party, wrote in the Facebook.

"We wanted to express our solidarity and the fact that there are people in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), – note of the Caucasian Knot) who are not indifferent to what is happening in Yerevan," Ayk Gazaryan, a journalist and one of the protesters, has stated.

According to his story, one of the goals of their action was to "soften the atmosphere of fear" in the NKR.
