Alexander Ghazaryan, head of the government department that deals
with the acceptance and discussion of citizen requests, approached
the traders protesting outside the government building for a second
time, again asking them to form a delegation of 10 members to enter
the building and meet Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan. In reply,
the group began whistling. They continue to demand that the premier
come out of the building and talk to them.

Mr Ghazaryan stressed that the meeting will not take place in the
street.

The group of police officers police is guarding the building. The
doors are locked from inside.

A group of salespeople have gathered outside the government building
today to demand a meeting with the prime minister. They are protesting
against the Law on Turnover Tax which requires that salespeople track
an inventory for each product. The new law comes into effect starting
February 1.
