Two men, past the age of 50, prevented us from taking pictures on the
site of the Closed Market in Yerevan. They threatened to break our
equipment. They didn’t identify themselves. MP Samvel Aleksanyan is
paying residents living around the market to stop unwanted people from
entering. All the doors and windows to the market have all been
cemented up. Only people selected by Aleksanyan can enter the site.
Let’s remember that, Aleksanyan says he isn’t an `oligarch’ and owns
no business. He claims he’s just a `poor’ member of parliament and one
of the authors of the laws in Armenia.
