Sevan: Hundreds March in Anti-Serzh Protest

Sevan residents have also joined the protests against Serzh Sargsyan and his government. Young people gathered in front of the municipality building in the morning, and started to march in streets of Sevan, chanting "strike", "join us", "take your step, reject Serzh". Passing cars honked their horns in solidarity.


The priest of the Sevan Church joined the protesters. Police were also on the scene.

Note to Readers: Today is the eleventh day of protests in Armenia calling for the resignation of Serzh Sargsyan as prime minister and the transfer of power out of the hands of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia to the people. Yesterday, protest leader MP Nikol Pashinyan briefly met with Sargsyan, who balked at Pashinyan’s demand that he resign. Sargsyan got up and left after three minutes. In a veiled threat, Sargsyan alluded to the unrest of March 1, during which ten people died. Sargsyan argued that Pashinyan had no right to speak in the name of the people. An hour later, Pashinyan was detained and subsequently arrested. Police also arrested Yelk Alliance MPs Ararat Mirzoyan and Sasun Mikayelyan.
