Thousands of Armenians again rallied on a street leading to President Serzh Sarkisian's offices on Tuesday evening just 15 hours after riot police forcibly unblocked it and arrested scores of activists protesting against electricity price rises.
Sarkisian, meanwhile, renewed his offer to meet the protest leaders and discuss their demands.
Phalanxes of riot police deployed on Marshal Bagramian Avenue again stopped them from approaching the presidential palace, setting the stage for potential fresh clashes between the two sides. A senior police officer at the scene tried in vain to convince the crowd to demonstrate elsewhere in the city center.
