Ben Avetisyan: We Did Not Revolt for This, to Be Collected and Fined Today

Actor Ben Avetisyan is among the restaurant business workers protesting near the government building. "People have not worked for 5 months, and there is no alternative proposed. They want to speak up and understand how things will end. Singers, actors, and waiters are facing challenges to support their families. People are unemployed, and there should be concrete answers to our questions. We have no issue with the police; no one has gathered here to confront the police, but rather to get answers to our queries. It’s not just about taking people away; we did not revolt for this, to be collected and fined today. We need them to listen and understand our problem—we need our right to work," the actor told journalists.
