Youth activists leading nonstop demonstrations in Yerevan against electricity price hikes reiterated on Friday their sole condition for meeting with President Serzh Sarkisian and discussing their demands.
"The meeting can take place only if it is broadcast live by the media," Maxim Sargsian, one of the leaders of the No To Plunder movement, told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am) as scores of people remained camped out on a central Yerevan avenue for the fifth day running.
The non-partisan civic group cited this demand earlier this week when it twice rejected Sarkisian's offer to receive them in the presidential palace located just a few hundred meters from the site of the protests.
