Lights have gone out at Yerevan's Liberty Square where the opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) is staging its regular rally.

ANC representative Nikol Pashinyan announced that the Chief of the Armenian Police Vladimir Gasparyan is doing his utmost to frustrate the rally.

"Since his efforts failed, Gasparyan decided to de-energize the square so that Serzh Sargsyan would not hear public calls for his resignation," said Pashinyan.

Then he addressed to Vladimir Gasparyan saying, "Vova, you are not a better guy than Alik Sargsyan [former chief of police]. Serzh Sargsyan disgracefully dismissed Alik Sargsyan. The same fate is awaiting you."

This was followed by loud vociferation, "Serzhik, go away!"
