MP Tigran Abrahamyan from the opposition With Honor bloc on Thursday accused the incumbent Armenian authorities of using law enforcement agencies to stop the protest campaign launched by the opposition.

"The competent authorities are in no hurry to take action against the police officers who throw bottles at people, blatantly violate the professional activities of journalists, spit on a detainee and, in general, subject those taking part in peaceful acts of civil disobedience to inhuman treatment,” he wrote on Facebook.

Abrahamyan blamed the law enforcement for provocations and clashes at more than weeklong opposition protests demanding Nikol Pashinyan's resignation.

“The authorities are using law enforcement agencies as a cudgel in order to stop the struggle of people at any cost and to extend their grip on power,” the MP said.
