ArmInfo."We are all here because the Armenian statehood is under threat," Naira Zohrabyan, lawmaker of the RA National Assembly from the Prosperous Armenia opposition faction, told reporters during the rally of the Movement for the Salvation of the Motherland.
"We are here to save our Motherland, not to engage in clashes. We are here so that there is no clash between an Armenian and an Armenian. And the police are no exception, they also do not provoke clashes. I want all the Armenians, who realize that we are losing our homeland, be here, "said Naira Zohrabyan.
To note. the opposition lawmakers stood up as a human shield between citizens and the forces of law and order to prevent clashes. Naira Zohrabyan was joined by her faction colleagues Arman Abovyan and Mikael Melkumyan, as well as RPA representatives Khosrov Harutyunyan and Eduard Sharmazanov. Demonstrators attempted to erect barricades with dumpsters, setting some of them in front of the police. At the same time, on Baghramyan Avenue and Demirchyan Street, an accumulation of police forces is observed, which are moving forward in rows, step by step.
