Opposition rally held in Yerevan again
After a long pause, the Armenian opposition held a regular rally in Yerevan on April 19. The protest action started at 3 p.m. at a monument to Alexander Myasnikyan, where the March 1 riots ended in bloody clashes with the police.
Suren Surenyants, member of Republic party political council, Anna Hakobyan, the wife of Nikol Pashinyan (currently wanted by the police) and Melissa Brown, the wife of detained former foreign minister of Armenia Alexander Arzumanyan, addressed the attendees.
Leader of People's Party Stepan Demirchyan and head of Republic party political council Aram Sargsyan were also present but could not deliver speeches over lack of time.
Two hours later, the participants marched towards Liberty Square and found it cordoned by the police. After numerous calls to leave the site, the protesters broke up, IA Regnum reports.
