BEIRUT. – The situation in Beirut has relatively improved after Sunday incidents, Editor-in-Chief Shahan Kandaharian of Lebanon’s Aztag Armenian daily told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

The situation is relatively calm as of Monday morning, only several roads in the south are being closed occasionally.

Kandaharian said the territory near the government building is under tight control of law enforcers.

“People came to the offices, the situation is getting normalized,” he said adding that at the same time tension remains. Political statements will be obviously made during the day as the opposition continues demanding government’s resignation, he added.

As reported earlier, a crowd of protesters tried to storm the government’s building in Beirut on Sunday. They managed to break through police cordon. Demonstrators were demanding resignation of Premier following the funeral of the high ranking intelligence official Wissam al-Hassan who was killed in a Friday blast. The government forces were impelled to open fire and use tear gas to stop protesters. Media reported shots were heard at night.
