People where YT is blocked surely are missing out on a lot of things for YT is such a powerful resource that can definitely be very influencial, thus that's why I think it was banned on those countries.

The Armenian governement says in the news, that they were just shooting in the air (at the end of the movie). Watch by yourself... I hope OSCE is watching this video too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e6XR8TXGWA And here you see how a special army is coming after the normal army is drawn back.

I am very sad for the dead and injured peaceful demonstrants, but I think this events made Armenia to a more modern and realistic society. I think this is the birth of an alternative Armenia movement. Armenians will stop to feel all as one and start to get critical and want to express that they are not part of the military-dictatorship-society. I expect to see different kind of men when I go the next time down (I am European not Armenian). I think Yerevan & Ararat songs will not be that popular anymore. I guess Armenia is more going into direction of System of a down-Style. I would appreciate that, because if they people start to struggle and fight (peaceful as the demonstrators did) - then Armenia will have a good future. And biggest respect to the peaceful & dancing demonstrators. You impressed me very much here in Europe. We dont have this power anymore. People got lazy here somehow.

It is somewhat encouraging that eventually words of sound condemnation are heard especially from the west (OSCE report on the march 1, '08 election), from senior Armenian organizations in the States (the recent statement of the Armenian Assembly of America) and of course the honest report of the OSCE ombudsman on how the regime's special forces attacked with truncheons, shields, electroshock devices, guns, armored vehicles and tanks the peaceful demonstrators. The sooner this fascists leave the better for Armenia and its heroic and proud people. I believe the clock is ticking against the corrupted regime. I believe also that sooner or later the struggle of the people of Armenia will eventually succeed in restoring peacefully DEMOCRACY, TRANSPARENCY, PROSPECTS FOR A BETTER LIVING, SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, HUMAN AND CIVIL RIGHTS AND MOST OF ALL DIGNITY. We the Armenians of diaspora will stand by their side and support them in every lawful way.
