Neo-nazi attack Diversity march in Armenia capital Yerevan calling it "gay pride"

To mark United Nation's World Day of Cultural Diversity, PINK Armenia and Women's Resource Centre announced a variety of events as part of the Diversity Week. The week should have kicked off with the Diversity march on 21 May to call for respect of... yes, diversity in Armenia.

But the notion of diversity was once again attacked in Armenia in an organised provocation by neo-nazi elements and their supporters. To gain a wider support among masses, they dubbed Diversity march a "gay pride" and fuelled aggression towards marchers by intentionally spreading misleading information.

Neo-nazi elements  attacked marchers encouraged by endorsement of homophobic hysteria and anti-gay violence on a very high state level that followed firebombing of DIY bar. Interestingly, while some participants praised police action during the march, others are of different opinion [Not in my name]. All this happened amid new confirmed reports of attacks towards DIY bar.

Watch these reports. Look at these pictures. Faces of fascism in Armenia.
