While Raffi Hovhannisyan was negotiating with Police Chief Vova Gasparyan the people gathered on Baghramyan Avenue were waiting for their leader.

Uncertainty lasted until Andrias Ghukasyan, who did not have information on the progress of negotiations either, took the loudspeaker and announced that Raffi Hovannisian went to Tsitsernakaberd with a group of demonstrators adding that all those who wanted to join to Raffi Hovannisian could go through Saryan street and others who wanted to stay declared sit-down strike: "Here there should be people who ca n resist the police without applying force. We are starting a sit-down strike here",-Andrias Ghukasyan said.

The police gave 15 minutes to free the avenue and the other party of the protestors reached Tsitsernakaberd.
