Levon Ter-Petrosian’s general headquarters gave its estimation to
the incident of July 2 evening, according to which, that "barbarity
is the acting style of the current criminal regime, the goal of which
is to intimidate thousands of citizens, who rose to struggle against
that regime, to frighten them to take part in the July 4 republican
rally, for which that regime did not have an aversion to use the
hired riff-raff."

According to the report received from the headquarters, nearly 20 men
invaded into Northern Avenue, acting in an insulting and instigating
way, attacked the citizens being there and taking part in the daily
"political walks." A brawl started, in which several citizens were
beaten.

"During the whole attack of these hired criminals the policemen being
near the scene behaved like observers not undertaking any adequate
steps, moreover, they sponsored them and according to the observers,
undertook measures against those trying to video all that."
