The situation is calm on Yerevan’s Khorenatsi Street amid a continuing standoff between security forces and an armed group holding four police officers hostage at a police building there since Sunday morning. A1+’s journalist reports from the scene that over a dozen activists have gathered in the street, among them individuals who were subjected to violence by the police on Monday.
