The tranquility of opposition supporters who are staging nonstop rallies at Yerevan's Liberty Square was again disturbed this night.

"A ‘drunken' man showed up at the square at night and tried to provoke an incident but we sent him off the square," said Vardan Malkhasyan, a participant of the anti-government sit-in.

ANC supporters have spent their 5th night at the square in an attempt to put more pressure on authorities. The start of the ANC rally was immediately followed by the simultaneous closure of neighboring cafes and public toilets.

Serzh Sargsyan has not yet responded to Levon Ter-Petrosyan's request to re-open public toilets.

"Serzh, I beg you, open the toilets. It's been 10 years since I've had a private meeting with him, but now I say: Serzh, prove to these people that you can solve at least one problem," Ter-Petrosyan addressed to Serzh Sargsyan from the square on Tuesday evening.

Despite the discomfort connected with toilets, in the morning the demonstrators were cleaning the area in high spirits. Some were reading newspapers to cheerful music.
ANC senior member and editor of Haykakan Zhamanak daily Nikol Pashinyan greeted the ralliers with an addressing speech.

"We are not going to live in a country which has a criminal-oligarchic system. We are determined to continue our struggle till the end," said Pashinyan.
