Narek Ayvazyan also read out the names of the people included in the groups. This is meant to make the struggle on Baghramyan Avenue more coordinated.

The wall of policemen moved along from the protesters. The protesters welcoming that step started chanting “Free, independent Armenia”.

Activist: We are all fighting for the same thing regardless of protest venue

Monday evening on the avenue differed from the previous evenings, with participants of the protest demonstrating their skills and entertaining others.

One of the activists in Baghramyan Avenue said a security platform was forming on the protest site where specialists are asked to express their opinions on the activists’ demands within three minutes.

“The dumpsters were used to distance police officers and protesters as it was impossible to ensure the safety of people in the tense situation,” he added.

However, he says the party cannot open headquarters in all marzes as they do not have funds.

Vaghinak Shushanyan of the No to Plunder initiative said they will join the evening march to be held by protesters in Baghramyan Avenue but before that they will make an announcement at 6pm.
