ArmInfo. The Armenian police decided to stop the rallies organized by MP Nikol Pashinyan. This is stated in the statement of the Police, distributed today from the early morning.
The police gave time to the opposition to inform the public about this decision. The statement also says that in the prescribed manner, the police have the right to use special means. The authors of the statement urge the organizers of the action not to impede the police from performing their legitimate duties.
As a justification for this decision, the fact that the opposition violated the public order, blocked the streets, obstructed the natural work of institutions and educational institutions, and voiced calls to break into the parliament building. "The police have so far refrained from specific measures to disperse shares, as they were generally peaceful, but now they decided to stop them," the statement said.
It should be noted that the opposition intends to block the approaches to the parliament in the morning, where a vote on Serzh Sargsyan's candidacy for the post of prime minister should be held. Thus, the oppositionists try to prevent the penetration of parliamentarians into the building of the National Assembly and the conduct of voting. It should be noted that about 20 students who tried to block the crossroads of Abovyan-Isahakyan streets were subjected to a drive.
