A citizen who was injured in clashes between riot police and opposition protestors in Yerevan late on Friday and underwent surgery is in stable condition now.

The surgery was performed by doctors of the Yerevan State Medical University (YSMU) hospital.

“The citizen’s life is not in danger,” YSMU Chief of Staff Shushan Danielyan told Panorama.am.

The Armenian Health Ministry said earlier that a total of 60 people, including 39 police officers, sought medical care after the clashes.

As of 8:30am, 50 people were discharged from hospital after receiving necessary medical aid, it said.

The skirmishes broke out after demonstrators attempted to break through a police cordon near Nikol Pashinyan’s official residence in central Yerevan. Police officers used stun grenades and detained scores of protesters.
