Armenian Leader Off To Brussels Amid Growing Protests At Home

President Serzh Sarkisian flew to Brussels on Wednesday evening to attend a meeting of European politicians, continuing to avoid public statements on nonstop street protests in Yerevan against a rise in electricity prices in Armenia.

The protests seemed to be gaining momentum one day after the Armenian authorities tried to quell them by dispersing and arresting young activists camped out on a major street in the city center, just a few hundred meters from the presidential palace. All of them were set free by Tuesday evening.
