Armenia –

Three people have been arrested after driving into a tent set up by the opposition in Yerevan’s central France Square.

The incident took place early on Tuesday morning. The vehicle broke through a police cordon and rammed into one of the tents, breaking it down, opposition Hayastan bloc MP Anna Mkrtchyan said. No injuries were reported.

Police officers chased the Mercedes-Benz car and arrested the three men who were in it.

“Reports are being prepared on the case,” the police told Panorama.am, refusing to say whether the arrested men were drunk or not.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
