Today, at 7 pm local time, about 20 men entered the Northern Avenue of
Yerevan and attacked the people who took part in the opposition’s daily
action of political strolling, the oppositional Nationwide Movement
Center headed by the first president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan
told ArmInfo.

According to the source, the men initiated a scuffle during which
several citizens were beaten. "The policemen, who were standing nearby
during the whole scuffle organized by hired criminals, just observed
the scuffle and took no relevant measures. Moreover, as the incident’s
witnesses say, the policemen took measures with respect to those who
tried to record the fact of the scuffle", the source says. "Today’s
violence is the handwriting of the present authorities whose key
goal is to discredit thousands of citizens coming out against them,
as well as to intimidate the citizens before the July 4 rally of the
opposition", the source noted.

“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
