Heritage party member offers to rename Armenia into “country of policemen”

Heritage opposition party member Anahit Bashkhyan offered to rename Armenia into “a country of policemen” when commenting on the fact that the police cordoned almost all entries to the government building on Thursday, October 27, ahead of the protest actions to be held.

“It is neither democratic nor constitutional regime when policemen do not allow people to voice their concerns,” the MP said.

As a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent reported from the ground, media representatives had to enter a dispute with the security officers to get access to the building in order to cover the government session.

Two protest actions are expected to take place. Mothers of killed soldiers have already gathered at the government building. Besides, ecologists will call for protection of Trchkan waterfall, where a hydropower plant is planned to be built.
