Heritage Party MP Anahit Bakhshyan is still in hospital after
becoming ill during a scuffle this morning with police in front of
the Government Building in Yerevan.
Fellow Heritage MP Zaruhie Postanjyan reports that Bakhshyan's blood
pressure is high and doctors have yet been unable to get it down to
acceptable levels.
"It all started when police surrounded us in a circle and started to
close in. This is when Anahit Bakhshyan became ill," MP Postanjyan
said.
After the encounter, during which police used force to push back
former street vendors protesting the recent ban against all sidewalk
commerce, Heritage Party MP's Stepan Safaryan and Armen Martirosyan
met with Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan.
The prime minister told them he would order Police Chief Alik Sargsyan
to launch an investigation into the matter.
