YEREVAN. - The new coordinators of the movement struggling against the electricity price hike are lying to the people, putting a soft pillow under the head of the authorities, an elderly Armenian freedom fighter, who asked to yield him the floor, said during the speech of the movement coordinator Davit Sanasaryan.

“As a freedom fighter, let me join what you have said, or only you can lie to these people by putting a soft pillow under the head of the authorities? You’re giving them time,” he said.

In response to the accusation, Sanasaryan asked the people gathered: “We are accused here of putting a soft pillow under the head of the authorities, but do the authorities have a head so that we can put a pillow under it?” to which the rally participants unanimously exclaimed “No!”

One of the coordinators tried to calm down the man dissatisfied with the movement.

Large number of police forces is present in Liberty Square. They are concentrated by all the entrances to the square. 

Yerevan Deputy Chief of Police once again urged the rally coordinators to stay in Liberty Square and refrain from holding a march.

Following the two-week sit-in, the police opened Yerevan’s central Baghramyan Avenue on Monday. The protestors, 40 of which were detained, moved to the Liberty Square. Today protestors have convened a rally in Liberty Square, following which they may launch a march.
