Opposition triggers clash near Armenian government building - police
Armenian police have accused deputies of the Heritage opposition party
of a provocative act that caused a clash between the police and a
protest rally.
"A group of people gathered near the Armenian government building on
March 3 to protest against the ban on street trade. Several deputies
of the Heritage party encouraged the rally to move close to the
government building and tried to provoke a clash with the police," the
police told Interfax.
The police clashed with street vendors, who had lost their jobs, near
the government edifice on Thursday. Deputies supporting the protesters
were hurt in the clash.
Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan ordered republican police
chief Alik Sargsyan to investigate the case.
The police said that the deputies had tried to organize clashes.
"Fortunately, they did not succeed but cursed the police and the
government. The police managed to preserve public order," the police
said.
