While citizens of Armenia were watching the concert
"Moscow-Yerevan-Transit" at the Republic Square, not far from the
Square the police beat those citizens who had gathered at National
Security Service building to claim justice.

The mass meeting was held by three opposition parties/the
Triple Alliance: "Impeachment" alliance and "New Times" (NT) and
"Hanrapetutyun" parties.

After the incident, the meeting participants moved to the Liberty
Square shouting "Vic-to-ry!". During the party leaders’ speeches,
there was an absolute silence at the place as the party leaders had
to make their speeches without microphones. The police did their best
to take all microphones.

"Victory is a process that is to be achieved step by step and
today we have done the major step towards our victory. We have never
supported the idea of beating our policemen though we will combat their
attacks. We do our best to hold our meetings in peaceful atmosphere",
announced Aram Karapetyan, Leader of NT.

During the incident with the police Davit Martirosyan from
"Impeachment" party was injured. "We showed who is the lion in the
country and who is the rabbit. We have always used our right for
peaceful meeting and marches however we will combat those who are
on our way and are trying to take away our childrens’ right", said
Nikol Pashinyan from "Impeachment" party.

Aram Sargsyan, "Hanrapetutyun" Party leader simply said," One plus
one plus one". It was late, already 23:00 but the participants did
not want to leave the Square. The Party leaders told the participants
to leave for their homes and inform them in case the police- the skin
headed interfere.
