Diaspora Armenians in Armenia condemn the government’s actions

Over the past few days, Diaspora Armenians who live and work in Armenia have been actively discussing the situation here at www.cilicia.com. Madlene Minassian, Director for Public Relations and Events, Cafesjian Museum Foundation, Lena Majarian from International Executive Service Corps/Armenia (IESC/Armenia), Alex Sardar, Deputy Program Director, USAID/Armenia Legislative Strengthening Program, and Raffi Kojian, Outreach Coordinator , USAID/Armenia have expressed their views on the website. After reading their opinions, we contacted them to discuss the current political situation in Armenia and the recent violence against peaceful demonstrators. None of them, however, agreed to talk, saying that they would if they weren't embassy staff or if they knew their supervisors' opinions. So we have decided to present some excerpts from their writings as published on the web site ( Armenian life - online log), since it is an open forum and not a chat-room for members only.
