Karabakh residents started a sit-in protest in Yerevan on July 12.
"The Artsakh people unfurled a 50-meter flag on the Freedom Squares in Yerevan. They stated that their rights were being violated everywhere, which the so—called Armenian authorities were accused of," the Aniv telegram channel reports.
Representatives of the Armenian police warned those gathered at Freedom Square in Yerevan that the mayor's office did not sanction the march, therefore force will be used. A member of the Council for the Protection of the Rights of Karabakh people, Artak Mkrtchyan, in response announced that they were starting a sit-in rally in the square as a sign of protest.
The police forbade the organizers to set up tents on the square. Saida Poghosyan, a member of the Council for the Protection of the Rights of Karabakh People, said that representatives of the council intend to spend the night on the square, so they will need sleeping bags and chairs.
