Protest in front of Yerevan Covered Market – Videos
15:51 – 01.09.13
The action group `To free historical monuments from oligarchs’ keeps
on holding protests against construction at Yerevan’s Covered Market.
The first protest was held on August 31. Seven activists were detained
by the police.
A group of people, with most of them women, introduced themselves as
ex-workers of the Covered Market and told journalists that they object
to protests.
`The market must be re-opened and we will resume our work there. The
Yerevan City supermarket will not be constructed in place of the
covered market,’ they said.
The activists clashed with the `ex-workers’ and police had to interfere.
The protest is going on now.
