Hardworking monkey in Yerevan.

I came across the picture of this hardworking monkey in 'Haykakan Jamanak' daily. The caption underneath made references to the current authorities saying that unlike this well dressed monkey, people soon will be lining up to take their pictures, and they will not be in the Republic Square but in jail, and they won't have colorful coats but striped prisoners' jumpsuits.

But what I saw as important in the whole rant was the picture of this poor creature. He obviously is not being treated badly by the man holding him. He is as well dressed as a little kid. Also, notice that he is not on a leash. But it must be hard for him/her to be outside in a cold weather. He doesn't seem very enthusiastic about cold climate at all.
