Heritage leader Raffi Hovannisian said on Freedom Square that
he was not supposed to speak about the tent but he has to. Before
Hovannisian's speech, Styopa Safaryan had read out the letter of the
Human Rights Defender who stated that putting up a tent on Freedom
Square cannot be a violation of law. According to the ombudsman,
prohibition to put up a tent is a violation of human rights while
police actions are illegal.
Raffi Hovannisian noted that he has never demanded anything, including
a tent. According to him, it is the function of the police to put up
a tent. He asked people to stop their attempt to put up a tent and
leave it up to the Chief of Police Vladimir Gasparyan to decide.
For Raffi Hovannisian, such treatment of people is illegal and
unacceptable. He reiterated that the fight is peaceful and he will
not allow clashes between people and police.
"When Vladimir Gasparyan considers it necessary, when his conscience
speaks, when my health needs it, let him place the tent himself.
Before that, this issue won't be mentioned again," said Raffi
Hovannisian.
