    Yesterday, one of the protesters extended the middle finger in the sign
    of protest to Yerevan State University, and her gesture was actively
    discussed on the web. Many insulted her, while today someone already
    hit the striking students.

    As civil activist Ani Kaghinyan told Lragir.am, several dozens of
    young men, probably members of the students' council of YSU, in the
    silent presence of police officers, provoked a conflict and beat two
    young protesters.

    Ani Kaghinyan said that the conflict continued in front of State
    University of Economics, where several dozens of young men hit other
    protesters and only then police officers started calming everyone
    down. "The doors of YSU History faculty were closed, while 50-80 young
    men gathered in front of the Agricultural University shouting to us
    "Leave Turks!" They were throwing chewing gums and cigarettes on us,
    and when we asked the police officers why they were not intervening,
    they responded that they were throwing back what we were throwing on
    them", says Kaghinyan.

    Students say the conflict is now continuing in front of Engineering
    university. They are sure these actions are planned and aimed at
    using violence against protesters with the help of police officers.
