Armenian law enforcement. Many witnesses from Gyurmi, Yerevan, and
other provinces to the framework of the case related to the protest
have been examined.

unit but was arrested on the spot . After around two days in custody,
Aleksanyan was released with the assurance that he'd stay in the
country.
