Jirair Sefilian, who heads Armenia’s opposition Founding Parliament initiative, several other initiative members, and the Armenian Rebirth movement’s Lebanon representative, Toros Sefilian—who is Jirair Sefilian’s brother—, have been detained on Tuesday.

The opposition “100th [Armenian Genocide] Anniversary Without the Regime” movement issued a respective message.

The Investigative Committee of Armenia likewise released a statement saying that they have prevented the organizing of mass disorder at the places of public events to be held in Armenia on April 24, the centennial of the Armenian Genocide.
