In a public statement responding to police actions to disperse electricity rate hike protesters in Yerevan early today, Heritage Party head Raffi Hovannisian writes:

“I agree that this government is a national shame from top to bottom and a real evil. Thus, it is subject to immediate and complete removal.”

Hovannisian adds, “We remember and demand, we see and condemn. What filth and obscenity. What blasphemy towards the essence of Armenians and the homeland.”
