We have information according to which police troops are being brought from all provinces of Armenia to Yerevan for the past two to three years. This is what coordinator of Armenia’s opposition Homeland Salvation Movement Ishkhan Saghatelyan declared on Demirtchyan Street in Yerevan today.
Saghatelyan told the police chief and all police officers who try to make provocations during the night that they will be fully responsible for the provocations. “We will continue our peaceful demonstrations. We’re fighting for the army, the state and statehood, Artsakh and our children,” he added.
Saghatelyan called on citizens to join the acts of civil disobedience tomorrow at around 8:30-9:00 a.m. “Today, Nikol Pashinyan is trying to distort constitutional order. With your presence, you are observing the Constitution of Armenia. Tomorrow we will hold our major rally at 4 p.m. Let’s stand with Armenia and Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), maintain the Constitution and get rid of this evil power,” Saghatelyan said.
Saghatelyan also declared that the opposition is giving Nikol Pashinyan until 12:00 tomorrow to resign. According to him, Pashinyan’s statements about his intention to hold snap elections are phony.
Today at 6 p.m. marked the end of the term until which President Armen Sarkissian could apply to the Constitutional Court to challenge Nikol Pashinyan’s petition to dismiss Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Armenia Onik Gasparyan from office, but Armen Sarkissian didn’t apply.
