Activists keep their promise: Fewer police officers seen on protest site (video)
Vaghinak Shushanyan, a member of the No to Plunder initiative, today explained why the number of police officers maintaining public order on the protest site on Baghramyan Avenue has reduced sharply. “We have promised Deputy Chief of Yerevan Police Valeri Osipyan not to go beyond the barricades. We do not want a repetition of Ukrainian "Maidan” in Armenia,” he said. At the same time, the activists reminded the authorities that more people will the protesters until their demand is met. Vaghinak Shushanyan says they will not allow any political force 'to appear on the rostrum' as otherwise they will lose their resources. People gathered on Baghramyan Avenue are now chanting “Freedom!” Tigran Madoyan, a Yerevan citizen participating in the protest, today has been taken to a police station. According to preliminary information, he is accused of hooliganism.
