- said the representative of the party Iveta Tonoyan. She is echoed by member of the Council of Elders of Yerevan from the "Prosperous Armenia" faction Hripsime Arakelyan:
The opposition claims that the country's leadership is "trying to shift the responsibility" for signing the agreement on Nagorno-Karabakh onto others.
The police, in turn, declare the legality of their actions, explaining the detention of the opposition by a "ban on holding mass gatherings" under martial law introduced in the country.
