Opposition figure, the leader of United Armenia Party Vahan Badasyan has been detained by officers of the National Security Service, the party reported on its Facebook page. 

The detention comes hours after Badasyan's remarks made at Yerablur military pantheon  about the need to forcibly remove PM Pashinyan from office. "If he [ed. Pashinyan] refuses to leave, we will remove him physically with arms. I will start organizing that," Badasyan reportedly had said.
