Seetizen, the blog of a youth activist in Armenia, decries the latest action by the pro-radical opposition Hima youth movement [1] — a list which labels various celebrities, political figures and others as “non-Armenian” because of their support for the authorities. And Nothing Else Matters also weighs in with its own criticism of what the blog considers to be tactics designed to divide rather than unite society [2]. Interestingly, one of the names on the blacklist is Armenia's contestant in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest, Sirusho.
