ArmInfo. Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II blessed the holy fathers for participation in these protest actions. The representative of the Armenian Apostolic Church, Father Zakaria, stated in a conversation with the journalists. "The Catholicos is very concerned about what is happening in our country now. We do not want a clash, representatives of both sides are parishioners of our church. I want to note that we will remain at the protest action until its end," said Father Zakaria.
The opposition coalition "Elk", of which Nikol Pashinyan is a member, issued a statement to release MPs Ararat Mirzoyan, Nikol Pashinyan and Sasun Mikaelyan. The faction condemns the detention of deputies. Members of the faction also urged the authorities not to use violence against peaceful demonstrators. It should be noted that the representatives of the parties "Enlightened Armenia" and "Republic" that are members of the "Elk" bloc did not join Pashinyan's street struggle.
At the moment, from various parts of the city to the Republic Square, large groups of people flock to participate in the rally. At 19:00 there will be another rally.
