ArmInfo.Minister of Foreign Affairs, Member of Parliament of Lithuania, Gabrielius Landsbergis, in his microblog on Twitter, touched upon the protests held in Yerevan against Armenia's membership in the CSTO.
"Armenians protesting Putin's visit to Yerevan remind me of Lithuanians protesting Gorbachev's visit to Vilnius in 1990. That day thousands of us showed that flags, banners and songs can repel dictators who try to take our freedom," Landsbergis wrote.
It should be noted that today a small group of people numbering no more than 40 people tried to prevent the CSTO summit from being held in Yerevan. They moved towards Svoboda Square, demanding to leave the CSTO, while shouting "Glory to Ukraine". As a result of the intervention of police officers, four of them, including the leader of the European Party Tigran Khzmalyan, were detained, where they stayed for about three hours, after which they were released.
