The Founding Parliament initiative had planned to hold an outdoor
press conference at the Republic Square on February 5th at 1pm to
showcase the damages caused during the January 31st incident near
the Nagorno-Karabakh border. The police, however, tried to prevent
the press conference from taking place.
In an earlier released statement, the movement had stated that the
police would try to impede the press conference at any cost.
"During the night the police, in advance, occupied the parking spots
around the Republic Square, the location of the press conference,
while at the moment they are not allowing the damaged cars to be
parked in an alternative location, in front of the Central Bank. We
are stating that the press conference will take place regardless of
the police's actions," said the statement.
The Police's Press Service, in it's turn, reported that the police
were restricting the outdoor press conference at the Republic Square.
Nevertheless, the movement went ahead with the press conference,
during which Founding Parliament representative Varujan Avetisyan
told the journalists that the Nagorno-Karabakh police, when attacking
Founding Parliament members near the border of NKR, inflicted $35,000
worth of damage.
As a result of the police actions, 20 cars were damaged, 3 cameras
belonging to the car rally participants were stolen.
Varujan Avetisyan said that the damaged cars would be showcased on
Alek Manukyan St. near their central office.
In regards to movement's initiative going to Nagorno-Karabakh,
Avetisyan said that he considered Artsakh a province of Armenia and
that whoever says Artsakh is an independent state is a traitor.
According to him, the people of Artsakh have been speaking about
joining Armenia since the 1988 movement, and even if due to political
advisability it hasn't happened, it is still the final objective.
It was reported earlier that before the press conference even started,
two members of the Founding Parliament, Gevorg Safaryan and Hayk
Grigoryan, had been taken into custody at the Republic Square, while
3 of the damaged cars had been taken to an impound lot. Safaryan and
Gevorgyan were later released in the afternoon.
