Protest "Make a step, refuse Serzh" in Republic Square started with Armenian anthem

ArmInfo. The rally "Make a step, refuse Serzh" in the Republic Square started with the Armenian anthem.

The Armenian community of Spain gave the oppositionists a 10 meter flag of the Republic of Armenia, sewn during the "four-day" April war. It is noteworthy that the rally came to support the stars of domestic show business.

The movement's leaders informed the audience that the protest actions continue throughout the republic and abroad. Particularly active is Gyumri, where activists in the morning blocked the building of various state structures. Then the names of those deputies who voted for Serzh Sargsyan on the eve of the prime minister were read out. Participants in the rally chanted "Shame!" and whistled. Again, calls were voiced for a national strike.

Activist David Sanasaryan noted that the authorities were forced to remove barbed wire and to allow participants of the action to go to the residence of the prime minister and the parliament building without hindrance. "Henceforth it will be so, we will always hold shares where we want, and no one can hinder us," he said. Then Sanasaryan announced that Nuga-medicals joined the rally's participants, which has 7 branches, but intends to go on strike until the end of the campaign. "After the strike, I call on the people to use the services of this company." Henceforth it will be so who will join us, we will support it in every possible way," Sanasaryan said, stressing that the Diaspora businessmen also declare their assistance. "We were informed that one major businessman from the Diaspora is ready to provide the first policeman who has passed into the camp of oppositionists $ 10 thousand, each subsequent $ 2 thousand," he said.

The rally is quite crowded, but in comparison with yesterday is inferior in number.

Today, throughout the day, during the actions of disobedience, the demonstrators were detained in different parts of the city.

According to the press secretary of the Police of Armenia Edgar Janoyan, according to the situation by 18:00, 91 people were detained to different departments of the capital police. "54 detainees were sent to investigative structures on suspicion of committing crimes, another 37 after the preparation of administrative acts were released," he said.
