ArmInfo. The National Security Servicel of Armenia and the Police issued similar statements about a possible attempt to seize the parliament building.

The statement of the National Security Service of the Republic of  Armenia reads, in particular: "The National Security Service of the  Republic of Armenia received reliable operational data that the  organizers of the rally in Yerevan intend to provoke illegal actions  through provocations during the regular session of the National  Assembly of the Republic of Armenia held today, and to induce the  participants in the rally to seize the NA building, to force to take  any action, thus destabilizing the internal security of the country,  disturbing public order and security.  The National Security Service  strictly warns the organizers of the rally and participants to  refrain from committing illegal actions, otherwise the organizers  will bear full responsibility for what happened.

The Service calls on all law-abiding citizens not to succumb to  provocations, to refrain from illegal steps, otherwise they will  equally share the entire burden of criminal responsibility", the  statement says.

In fact, the RA Police also made a statement with the same text.  It  should be noted that the Armenian opposition is holding indefinite  protests demanding the resignation of current Prime Minister of the  Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan and his team.  And since May 1, a  tent city of opposition forces has been set up on France Square.  Activists of the Resistance Movement have been spending the third  night on France Square, and since morning they have been blocking the  roads of the capital. On May 3, regional roads were also blocked.
