Citizens who saw "March 1" are distributing footage of the Istanbul protest being dispersed. Atanesyan

Vahram Atanesyan, a former member of the Supreme Council of Armenia and the National Assembly of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, wrote on his Facebook page:

“Isn’t it an anomaly? An Armenian citizen who saw “March 1” is spreading footage of the dispersal of the Istanbul demonstration and, with pride or hatred, comments on it as “Turkish democracy.”

In all countries of the world, the police use water cannons and tear gas and sometimes shoot rubber bullets. Most importantly, there is no guarantee that Erdogan’s political opponents will not be more Turkish. Finally, perhaps, it is time to eliminate the mentality that what is bad for Turkey is good for Armenia.”
