The Investigative Department of the National Security Service of Armenia has initiated a criminal case under Article 328, Part 3, Point 3 of the RA Criminal Code against two citizens who participated in the group 'Against 30% Georgian'. This was reported by SHAMSHYAN.com.

The individuals are Ashot G. and Samvel S. Both, being drivers of a vehicle with Georgian license plates and expressing dissatisfaction with government regulations regarding the customs clearance of Georgian plates, made public calls through social media in January.
