NO MORE ARRESTS?
Support A1+!“An action has been brought on the case. There will be no more arrests. Yesterday’s events were an apparent violation of public order. They tried to exert their former methods and lead people to delusion,” Deputy Chief of Police Ararat Mahtessian told A1+.
“They gathered, chained the streets, diverted people's attention, megaphoned the date and venue of the rally and fixed leaflets on inadmissible places. The police didn't take drastic measures and urged the crowd to disperse. In reply to the warnings, the presentees started beating, offending and swearing. Four policemen were badly hurt. One of them even fell down. The most striking is that Shoger Matevossian was drunk. Can you imagine a drunken women participating in a march? She behaved very strangely and swore like a man. It was a mere hooliganism.”
Asked the question why deputies were denied access to the police station, Mahtessian said, “They would intervene with our activities.”
