LIVE: Tense Situation, Scuffles in Front of Government Building

Relatives of 21-year-old Arthur Ajamyan, who was killed in the army 26 days ago, are holding a protest near the government building. They demand to uncover the circumstances surrounding Ajamyan's death.

“We have not lost our hope; we place our hope in Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. If hope dies, we are ready for anything. If Nikol doesn’t come down, if he doesn’t answer us. Everyone knows, everyone is aware. This incident must be clarified. I raised a sick, defenseless child; what was it all for? Where is the commander of the platoon? Has he died? Where are his sergeants? If something happens to me, who will stand by me?” said Ajamyan's mother.

A government representative met with them and stated that the Prime Minister cannot come down at the moment because a government meeting is taking place. The relatives decided to wait for the Prime Minister and gave him 10 minutes. “If the Prime Minister doesn’t come in 10 minutes, we will block the roads and bring a body here,” they said.
