Armenian authorities are in 'hysteria', says opposition leader
Anti-government protests resumed in Armenia on Friday, with thousands of opposition supporters blocking roads and holding marches in Yerevan for the sixth consecutive day.
"By blocking roads, we are causing trouble to our citizens, but we are doing it for you,” opposition leader Ishkhan Saghatelyan said during a march, addressing passengers and drivers who honked the horn of their cars in support of protesters.
The march, like the other ones in Yerevan, was escorted by a large number of police officers.
"The authorities not only in panic, but also in hysteria," he said.
Saghatelyan said another rally will be held in France Square at 7pm.
