    4:50 pm: Activist, blogger Bayandur Pogosyan (pictured, right) has
    announced he will begin a hunger strike as a form of protesting the
    ongoing construction in Mashtots Park.

    "I want to prove that a peaceful demonstration can be decisive in
    this issue," he said.

    4:31 pm: Environmental activists, who are continuing their protests in
    the park, have issued a statement, calling on all concerned citizens
    to join them in the coming two days. There are currently about 100
    activists in the park, while police continue to patrol the area,
    not allowing activists from getting near the kiosks being built.

    Contractors continue to build the retail kiosks.

    Singers Arsen Grigoryan and Artur Ispiryan came by the park today to
    express their support for the activists.
