WHY DO POLICE OFFICERS INTERVENE IN OTHER PROTESTS, BUT NOT ARF-D PROTESTS?

Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D) party
member Ruzan Arakelian, was asked by journalists today to explain
why protects organised by her party seem to pass peacefully, while
during yesterday's national initiative "Miatsum" demonstration the
police used force.
The police used force to disperse the participants in yesterday's
protest against the Armenian-Turkish Protocols by trying to seize,
from the mother of a soldier who died in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
a sign which demanded President Serzh Sargsyan's resignation.
In recent weeks, the ARF-D has organized protests rallying against the
same document, while also demanding the foreign minister's resignation.
"Not everything passed calmly and peacefully," Arakelian
said. According to her, there are also provokers during the protest
acts, who try to "taint the atmosphere." "We do our best in order to
prevent such occurrences," the MP said.
She also said she doesn't know why police officers intervened during
yesterday's demonstration. "If something or a small clash takes
place before the government building, police officers, naturally,
will intervene," Arakelian concluded.
