ArmInfo.Police are trying to unblock the roadway in Yerevan's Khanjyan street. Hundreds SWAT police are using force to detain the protesters.
"The Red Berets must be waiting for incentive payment and provoked peaceful protesters. And the most awful thing is that the first to be detained was retired police colonel Sayat Shirinyan, who was only taking part in a peaceful march," the opposition MP Gegham Manukyan told reporters.
As regards the "secret" Armenia's Premier Nikol Pashinyan mentioned in Parliament, Mr Manukyan said: "Another manipulation! We came to Parliament to state our demands and leave. A liar is impossible to talk to. We witnessed that person telling us one thing behind closed doors and saying entirely different things in public. He is a habitual liar," Manukyan said.

The protesters are chanting "Struggle!", "Armenia without Turks!", "Armenian without Nikol!", "We are masters of our country!".
