Protesters camped in Baghramyan Avenue have announced that they are going to hold a march at 7pm along the central streets of the Armenian capital and then return to the avenue. The decision was after a joint discussion. They say their demand remains unchanged and people will not leave the protest site until the electricity price rise is cancelled. Citizens say by ordering an audit in the Russian-managed Electric Networks of Armenia (ENA) utility Serzh Sargsyan did not satisfy their demand and revoke the decision of the state regulator to raise the current electricity tariffs by 6,93 drams. Vaghinak Shushanyan of the No to Plunder initiative said they will join the evening march to be held by protesters in Baghramyan Avenue but before that they will make an announcement at 6pm.
