Actions against members of "Daredevils of Sasoun" group by policemen, who abuse their power, escalate the situation even more, the statement disseminated by Anti-Crisis Initiative Council reads.
"Even the video material disseminated by the Police vividly shows that the group members did not aim to attack on the policemen protected by the barricades. Considering that they could not overcome these barriers by car it becomes clear that members of "Daredevils of Sasoun" did not pose any threat for the policemen", the statement reads.
The council considers doubtless the fact of unjustified use of weapons by the police, as result of which members of "Daredevils of Sasoun" Ashot Petrosyan and Hovhannes Harutyunyan were injured.
"In such a situation it is more than evident that only with the support of our citizens, their direct presence at the Khorenatsi Street and adjacent territories it will be possible to implement the society's intention to resolve this crisis without new bloodshed", the statement reads.
