Shahen Harutyunyan to fight with another group: action ended (video)
21:00 A jostle broke out outside the RF Embassy, which quickly ended. Then the action participant Davit Sanasaryan was allowed to approach the Embassy building and hand over the box. After the end of the action Shahen Harutyunyan said that next time he would come to fight with another group, “I don’t want to come and not to be allowed to fight.” Other organizers of the action urged to end the action. 20:28 The police officers made a wall on the sidewalk opposite to the RA Embassy and don’t let the protesters approach the gates. The action participants prepared presents for the RF Embassy. They brought a box with a dirty shoe in it, “This is the shoe of that Russian, let them take it,” announced the action participants. They also showed a bottle and said that there may be diesel fuel in it, “We will give it not only to this building, but also Baghramyan 26.” The action participants tried to put the box beside the RF Embassy, but the police officers didn’t let them cross the police cordon. 20:00 The action participants outside the MFA building once again reminded that they are not going to yield even an inch. They are against deploying peacekeeping troops in the NKR, “The only peacekeeper of our country is our soldier,” they were chanting. At the moment the action participants are heading to the RF Embassy. 19:50 The participants of the action vociferating “We are to decide”, “We are Karabakh”, “No inch to enemy” reached the MFA building, where scores of police officers have already made a wall. A man in civilian clothing started shouting outside the MFA building addressing the action participants, “Shame on you! What are you doing? What will you achieve by shouting? We have 3 million Armenians in Russia, do you want to make them an enemy? What are you doing?” This speech angered the action participants, “Hey guy, you are not to decide!” The police officers quickly removed the man in civilian clothing. 18:30 Short time ago a protest march has kicked off from the Liberty Square against Sergey Lavrov’s visit to Armenia. Before the start of the march, participant of the action, member of City Council of Yerevan at Barev Yerevan fraction Davit Sanasaryan announced, “We know what will be discussed here, that’s why we say that we will not yield an inch, it is not a populist statement, it is respect towards our comrades. No one can trade at the expense of our soldiers’ blood.” “Heritage” lawmaker Zaruhi Postanjyan distributed the photos of deceased soldiers to the participants of the action. The participants of the action also demanded freedom for Levon Hayrapetyan. Dozens of police officers follow the action participants.
