On Armenia’s independence day, Serj Tankian voices call for civic reforms

On the 25th anniversary of Armenia’s independence, US-Armenian rock musician and vocalist Serj Tankian has initiated a campaign towards promoting civic changes in Armenia.

In an online petition shared on Facebook, Tankian calls for a strong action to promote progress and justice in the country.

“Today marks the 25th anniversary of Armenian independence. We should take the opportunity to celebrate some of the successes of this small but beautiful nation while also tackling the troubling issues at hand. Independence means little when a large segment of the public are discontent. That is why myself and a group of friends have drafted a statement of support for the people of Armenia and their call to action for positive civic changes and reforms. Please have a look at the below campaign link on change.org and sign on if you agree,” reads the musician’s address.
