But we know what we are doing, where we have come from, and how long we will stay [here]," Vanetsyan told reporters at Freedom Square Monday morning.

And asked why the police did not allow them to set up tents at Freedom Square, Vanetsyan responded: "With their fear. They are just afraid that the movement will gain momentum faster. (…).”
