The editor-in-chief of the newspaper "4th Power" Shogher Matevosian,
the editor-in-chief of the daily "Armenian Time" Nikol Pashinian,
the chairman of the Conservative Party Mikael Hayrapetian, the
representative of the "Armenian National Movement" party David
Matevosian, the chairman of the "Democratic Homeland" party Petros
Makeyan and several other arrested people were set free at 3:20
a.m. after being arrested in the local police office for 8 hours.
The reason for the arrest of the above-mentioned people was the
procession that they and several dozen supporters organized, during
which they, by using a loud-speaker, were calling to the residents
of Yerevan for participating in the opposition rally scheduled for
October 26 in the Freedom Square. In addition to this, the procession
participants distributed leaflets of the same contents.
