The situation was calm on Yerevan’s Khorenatsi Street in the morning where a group of citizens spent the night. Addressing the citizens grouped in the street on Saturday evening, Armen Martirosyan, a senior member of the Heritage Party, said they would establish a night shift on the street and he would be on duty that night. Albert Baghdasaryan, a former MP of the Supreme Council of Armenia, said ‘decisive days have begun since the members of the Sasna Dzrer group have proved that they are the bearers of the most important human virtues.’ “Our compatriots inside the police Headquarters will not shed a single drop of blood. You represent the true opposition in Armenia and the power must belong to you. You have the constitutional right to form a government in Armenia and the government, which is unable to perform its obligations, must resign,” Mr. Baghdasaryan said adding that Serzh Sargsyan must leave Baghramyan 26. “We have no right to retreat, we should appreciate this unique opportunity that is given to us. Let us decide our future steps together, no one has an advantage here, let us establish shifts and exclude disorder,” he said. On July 23, the Sasna Dzrer group released four hostages they were keeping inside the seized police compound in Erebuni district. Valeri Osipyan, Deputy Chief of Yerevan Police, and Vardan Yeghiazaryan, Deputy Chief of Armenian Police, were among those released on Saturday. The last four hostages were set free as a result of negotiations held with the Armenian government through Vitaly Balasanyan, a participant of the Artsakh war.
