The employees of the Russian Embassy in Armenia have nothing to do
with the August 17 incident in the territory of the Embassy, the
statement of the Embassy says.
The source says that the information that some people were trying to
illegally intrude and/or throw a/some thing/things into the territory
of the Russian Embassy has nothing to do with the reality.
Earlier the press service of the Armenian Police reported that on
August 17, around 10 pm, some people were trying to intrude the
specially protected territory of the Russian Embassy and started
a scuffle with the Embassy's employees guarding the territory and
disobeyed their legal demands. About an hour later, civil activists
Melik Daveyan, Karen Haroutyunyan and Gor Arakelyan, who were picketing
the Yerevan Municipality building, which is not far from the Russian
Embassy building, were taken to the Central Police Department of
Yerevan.
To note, the protesters demand resignation of a number of officials
engaged in the transport sector. All the three protesters refused to
give any testimony. Ruzanna Grigoryan, activist of the Let's Pay 100
AMD initiative, has written on her Facebook page that the activists
"were detained groundlessly and released three hours later".
