ArmInfo. Opposition initiatives "Take a step", "Refuse Serzh", "Front for the sake of the state of Armenia", which blocked the French Square in Yerevan all night, intend to hold a large-scale meeting at 14:00 on the possible premiership of Serzh Sargsyan.
Addressing the citizens of Armenia, the leader of the initiative, MP Nikol Pashinyan urged citizens from all regions to come to Yerevan and join the rally. He also said that the Armenians of the Diaspora called him all night and expressed their solidarity with the actions of the opposition.
Pashinyan said that he managed to sleep soundly at night in the tent, but in the morning he learned the unpleasant news that a clash occurred at the intersection of Moskovyan and Baghramyan streets. The MP again called for not resorting to violence and adhering to exclusively peaceful methods of struggle, as the authorities themselves can provoke the conflict.
Initially the opposition planned to block the office of the Republican Party today, where a meeting of the Council was to be held, at which Serzh Sargsyan was to be nominated for the post of prime minister. However, Republicans, having learned about the plans of the opposition, moved their meeting to the city of Tsakhkadzor.
While other opposition forces, including Pashinyan's supporters in the Elk bloc, the Enlightened Armenia and Hanrapetutyun parties, despite the call for consolidation, did not join the opposition initiatives.
