Baghranyan Avenue keeps on being closed: the activists against the electricity price hike are still gathered in the avenue.
Shortly before, NA MPs were there, but they left with the promise to be back. In his conversation with Iravaban.net, NA MP Nikol Pashinyan refused to give any explanation about the protest action, pointing that he is not authorized to tell anything and he is here to support and make a live wall so as to prevent police violence against the activists.
One of the organizers of the civil initiative “No to Plunder!” Maksim Sargsyan had a conversation with us and told that he was going to be in the avenue again a bit later, and their demand is still the stoppage of the hike decision and they refuse to meet the President.
The member of Yerevan Council of the Elders Anahit Bakhshyan, who has joined the activists, stated that rejecting the meeting with the President was a right decision, as long as Serzh Sargsyan in such cases can easily convince people without solving the problem.
According to A. Bakhshyan, it could have been much proper for the president to apply the whole public on TV and not to propose a meeting with a delegation of several people.
