At this moment, a small group of citizens is trying to approach the
OSCE / ODIHR office on Baghramyan Avenue, but the police formed a
chain and blocked their movement in the area next to Chekhov school.
This, according to the characterization of the protesters, is another
spontaneous action as a protest against the international observers’
assessments concerning the elections. They hold small posters in
English.
As the protester Karen Harutyunyan noted the participants present
observers the facts about elections, which, as the observers stated,
“they didn’t see and wish the observes elections similar to the one
in Armenia in their home countries”.
Police urged protesters to enter the sidewalk and not to block the
work of the school and other institutions, as well as the movement
of the citizens.
The participants are assertive, however, as they say, they have no
intention of confrontation.
By the way, the number of police officers and reporters present
exceeds the number of participants in the protest action.
