Peskov expressed hope that things will develop in accordance with the country’s legislation.

Of course, they exchanged opinions,” he added.
To remind, on April 17, the protesters in Yerevan planned to block the Baghramyan Avenue to prevent the MPs from voting for Sargsyan. However, the police took unprecedented measures to let the parliamentarians in the parliament. The police closed the avenue, in all streets close to it police forces and water cannons were deployed. Opposition MP, the leader of #MyStep movement Nikol Pashinyan announced the start of a “Velvet Revolution” in the country and called the protesters to block governmental offices.
