ArmInfo.Representatives of the opposition "Movement to Save the Motherland" began to gather in the center of the Armenian capital. Opposition leaders Vazgen  Manukyan, Ishkhan Saghatelyan, Vahram Baghdasaryan, Ruben Hakobyan,  Andrannik Tevanyan and others are among the participants in the  expected march. It is noteworthy, that the brother of the third RA  President Serzh Sargsyan, Alexander Sargsyan, is also taking part in  the event.

In an interview with reporters, former Deputy Speaker of the RA  National Assembly, Spokesman of the formerly ruling Republican Party,  Eduard Sharmazanov, noted that the movement aims to remove Nikol  Pashinyan by all legal means. "There is only one public demand in  Armenia - the resignation of the capitulator. Nikol must leave, he is  finished as prime minister in Armenia. Today's mask show is an  obvious evidence that he has no power in the country. He hid behind  police, "Sharmazanov said, adding that the executor of Aliyev's and  Erdogan's orders has no right to speak about early parliamentary  elections, especially since Pashinyan's image in Azerbaijan is much  higher than in Armenia.

It should be noted that before today's event, the Movement appealed  to the Armenian law enforcement bodies with an appeal to oppose the  government and stop carrying out the criminal, in its opinion, orders  of the political leadership. The movement called on the army, the  police, the National Security Service, the Prosecutor's Office and  the Special Investigation Service to stand by the side of the people  and together "prevent state terror." The movement said in a statement  that the opposition rally outside the government building turned into  a brawl, during which police used disproportionate force against the  demonstrators.  The authors of the statement believe that Armenia,  with the light hand of the authorities, is gradually turning into a  police state, and the police officers, blindly fulfilling the whims  of the authorities, discredit the reputation of the department. All  security officials involved in the execution of criminal orders by  the authorities will be held accountable.
