Vahe Ghazaryan's Organization Has Zero Connections to Public Order Protection
The actions of the police were completely disproportionate to the situation. The organization led by Vahe Ghazaryan has long had zero connection to the protection of public order and has become the personal guard of a traitor. This was stated by former Minister of Justice Arpine Hovhannisyan on her Facebook page.
She specifically noted, “The citizens, including myself, were walking up the sidewalk when the police began their hysterical lawlessness, shouting, and so on. The police actions were absolutely uncorrelated with the situation. The organization led by Vahe Ghazaryan has long had zero connection to public order protection and has become the personal guard of a traitor. No one will be forgotten, and nothing will be forgotten. The full video is available in the live streams.”
It should be noted that earlier, citizens demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan set up tents in the vicinity of Demirchyan Street and blocked the entrance to the National Assembly. Armed with shields and helmets, the police were trying to advance step by step, seemingly attempting to clear the street. Citizens responded to their actions with whistling and chants of “Shame.”
