Police have deployed massive forces at the entry to Goris town in Syunik province to prevent citizens from protesting against PM Nikol Pashinyan's scheduled visit to the town. Earlier, the local authorities called on the city residents to shut down the main entry to the town – Syunik gates. According to report by Tert.am, incidents of scuffle between law enforcement officers and demonstrators took place. Some 6-7 buses with security officers are deployed at the scene.  

In a Facebook post, Goris Mayor Arushan Arushanyan had called on locals to prevent the entry of the prime minister, 'who gave away the Armenian lands and disrupted the inviolability of Syunik.' Shortly after the call, Arushanyan was arrested.
