Today's actions of the Armenian police resembled the notorious
Ring operation (a military operation conducted by Soviet Internal
Security Forces and OMON units against peaceful Armenian population
in Nagorno-Karabakh in 1991), Heritage Party says in a statement
concerning today's action of protest against President Putin's visit
to Armenia.
The party believes that the protesters acted according to the law,
while the police's actions were illegal.
An action of protest against the Russian president's visit to Armenia
started early in the morning on 2 December. Activists were holding
banners "Serzhik's father has arrived!" and "No Customs Colonization!"
in the city. Earlier today, activists hanged a colorful bathrobe and
a boot over the underground passage in Khanjyan Street. The police
and the activists clashed in Amiryan Street, and about 22 people
were detained. ArmInfo's correspondent reported from the scene that
the police were severely beating the activists, including women and
journalists. People are also chanting "Serzhik, go away!" out of the
windows of their houses and offices.
