This is the huge banner at the anti-Sargsyan protest in LA. The AYF YouTube channel has posted some videos - this is my 'favorite' one so far...One ARF member on facebook wrote that Sargsyan must not be used to anyone standing up to him. How ridiculous. Someone beat me to commenting on that ridiculous statement, saying basically, no, he just can't open fire on these protesters.
Holding banners, saying Serjik Heratsir, standing on trucks, sending snippets of videos from the demonstration... this is all very familiar... And while I think at this point that the reasons for disagreeing with the protocols are different for most Diasporan Armenians than they are for those in Armenia (Genocide and Borders Recognition issues vs a basic mistrust of SS - with both groups thinking he'll give away NK), the ARF does seem to be serving a purpose right now...
But I did not hear their voices in March, 2008; I do not hear their call for Sargsyan's resignation; and they are not yet Opposition...
