Police changed their strategy
Instead of dispersing protesters, especially street traders gathered near the government building today by force, police officers were listening to their complaints.
Besides being constantly concerned over losing their jobs, the street traders were also filled with indignation against the Prime Minister's announcement that fruit resellers' tricks must be put to an end and that villagers should have control over the prices for their products.
"It is amazing how Tigran Sargsyan decides that the person buying and reselling cheese is dignified, while the person like me who buys the fruit is playing tricks," street trader, reseller Margarit Sargsyan told "A1+".
According to her, the Prime Minister made a very irresponsible announcement. "No villager will ever go and stand at the market. The claims that villagers are not allowed to stand at the market are groundless," said Sargsyan, adding that it is impossible for traders to set a price for a product that doesn't cost that much.
"The prime minister's buyer shouldn't shop at the "museums" on Mashtots Avenue (since the prime minister definitely doesn't shop), but purchase fruit from villagers. The buyer will notice that 6 out of 10 apricots are ruined and we are selling them however we can," said the seller.
As every Thursday, the mothers of soldiers who died under different circumstances were standing in front of the government building once again and are still waiting for justice to be served.
