The opposition Homeland Salvation Movement has called on security forces of Armenia to prevent state terror.

Armenian police have been forcibly apprehending citizens during Tuesday's protests in Yerevan.

A large number of police forces have been concentrated in front of the government buildings since Tuesday morning, as the opposition had announced that they would hold a protest outside the third building of the government because PM Nikol Pashinyan was to visit the building where several ministries are located.

Once Pashinyan approached and left the building, the protestors were addressing him and chanting, "traitor, land-giver."

While PM was in the building, police have forcibly apprehended 57 citizens standing there doing no provocations, including political leaders.

As the police have been using force, opposition representatives Razmik Arabyan got a broken leg and Ishkhan Saghatelyan had blood on his face.

“Dozens of citizens were subjected to violence," the opposition noted in a statement. "The main criminal, being in a panic, overthrows the constitutional order, violates international obligations in the field of human rights protection, and discredits Armenia."

"All criminals will inevitably be punished.

The silence of international organizations causes at least bewilderment, while they are obliged to assess the behavior of the authorities," the opposition movement's statement added.
