Oct 27 2011
Entrances to the Armenian government building on the central square
of Yerevan, Republic Square, have been closed off by the police,
News Armenia reports.
Traffic has not been restricted.
Yerevan Deputy Police Chief Robert Melkonyan says that the measures
were taken to facilitate normal operation of the government for the
weekly session on Thursdays.
Traditionally, citizens gather at the government building on Thursdays
and organize protests. People hold posters and attract the attention
of functionaries to their problems, in particular problems with the
army, housing and the environment.
Such security measures will from now on become regular, to allow
state authorities to enter the building without hindrance. Additional
security will then be lifted after the session ends. Melkonyan added
that details on the measures will be posted on the official police
website.
