Yesterday [28 August], a group of citizens, following their statement
made earlier, gathered outside the Presidential Palace to stage a
silent protest. They demanded [Armenian President] Serzh Sargsyan's
resignation. The protest lasted a few minutes because as soon as
the demonstrators shut their mouths and held up placards demanding
Sargsyan's resignation, over 50 policemen and men in plain clothes
attacked the protesters, tore down the placards - even those that
were placed on people's clothes - and pushing the demonstrators and
journalists, dispersed them.
