Three police officers were hospitalized in Nairi Medical Center following clashes with rally participants at Baghramyan avenue in Yerevan. As the Deputy Head of the medical institution Anatoli Gnuni told reporters, one of the injured police officers undergoes surgery.
In Gnuni’s words, the police officers sustained shrapnel wounds. “One of the officers is currently under surgery. His situation is assessed as severe,” Gnuni added.
To remind, it has been the fourth days as protesters led by MP Pashinyan have been demonstrating in Yerevan, boycotting the ruling Republican Party of Armenia’s decision to nominate Serzh Sargsyan as the next prime minister of Armenia.
Today, demonstrators marched through the center of the capital Yerevan and blocked streets seeking to disrupt the parliament session which is set to vote on the candidacy of the new prime minister on Tuesday.
