Onnik Krikorian

Unzipped: Gay Armenia, one of two blogs written by Mika Artyan, comments on remarks by a major opposition politician linking emigration to homosexuality ahead of this week's rally to call for regime change. The activist blogger, one of the most prominent covering the 2008 presidential election in Armenia as well as its violent aftermath, notes that the opposition promises to “stop these processes,” but says that no revolution on the streets will result in real change in the country until there is a revolution in people's minds.
