The Armenian police renewed on Sunday their threats to forcibly break up continuing nonstop demonstrations in Yerevan against a controversial increase in electricity prices.
Colonel Valeri Osipian, a deputy chief of the Yerevan police, said security forces will "try to restore public order" if Marshal Bagramian Avenue, a key thoroughfare leading to the presidential palace, remains blocked by protesters after 11:00 pm local time
"Within the framework of the law, the police will take measures to restore public order on Bagramian Avenue and punish delinquent persons," Osipian told reporters at the scene of the protests.
