Armenia’s opposition Homeland Salvation Movement has announced a new protest march in Yerevan on Tuesday evening.

In a statement, the coalition of 17 parties said the march will start from the area close to Aram Manoukian statue in downtown Yerevan at 6pm.

“We urge citizens to take an active part in the protest, which should be an adequate response to the police brutality against activists protesting outside the third government building today, injuries inflicted on citizens and unjustified detentions,” the statement said. 

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
