Police apprehend NGO head and protester in front of Armenia President’s Residence

Founder of Kamq (Will) NGO for protection of Armenian values Vahagn Chakhalyan and the members of the NGO today held a protest in front of the Residence of the President of Armenia. Earlier, they had announced that they wanted to hand a letter to the President and give a press conference.

“We have brought a letter to hand to the President of Armenia in order to shame him for adopting the Lanzarote Convention. These people don’t want our children to learn history of the Armenian Church, Armenian language and history, and instead, they want to teach sexual education and advocate perversion so that they can implement their plans through repression. They’re taking actions to only let Nikol Pashinyan’s beloved politicians hold protests. We’re complaining against the Armenian authorities’ discrimination,” Chakhalyan stated, adding that police let people protest against smuggling of tobacco or the constitutional amendments, but don’t let citizens hold protests regarding national dignity.

The police gave the protesters two minutes to leave the premises, after which they apprehended the protesters, including Vahagn Chakhalyan and Sona Aghekyan, who also wasn’t wearing a face mask.
