YEREVAN, April 20. /ARKA/. The Armenian police department has issued another statement expressing readiness to take adequate measures to stop the civil unrest wave in the country.br

As many as 77 MPs voted for him and 17 against. nbsp;br

Mass protests broke out in Yerevan on April 13, which developed into civil unrest. People have revolted against the third term of Serzh Sargsyan’ staying in power.nbsp;br

On April 17, Nikol Pashinyan announced the beginning of a velvet revolution, which will rid the country of Serzh Sargsyan’s regime, and protesters blockaded buildings of government establishments.nbsp;br

He warned people against responding to the provocations ordered for hindering the peaceful course of the protests and trigger clashes between protesters and the police.nbsp;br

br

In its statement, the police department, calling these actions illegal, says that the protesters divided into many groups are blocking traffic and disturbing people hampering them to move in transportation means.nbsp;br
