Artur Vanetsyan, the leader of the opposition Homeland Party and With Honor (Pativ Unem) parliamentary faction, has shared a video on police brutality against opposition protesters in Yerevan.

“Dignified Armenian citizens have held peaceful protests across Yerevan since early Wednesday morning,” he wrote on Facebook.

“The police have again used disproportionate force. According to preliminary data, over 300 people have been detained. We won’t give up, we won't get tired.

“They won't get away with it. The struggle continues and the victory is just around the corner,” Vanetsyan said.
