Unzipped: Gay Armenia pays tribute to local human rights activist Mikael Danielyan who received the Defender of Freedom award during a reception held at the U.S. Embassy dedicated to Martin Luther King Day [1]. The blog congratulates Danielyan, but also notes that award was not so welcomed by the pro-government media in the country.
