As a sign of protest, members of the Sasna Dzrer armed group set a police vehicle on fire in the area of the seized police patrol service regiment and took the burning car to the street, the Armenian Police said late on Sunday. Law enforcement authorities again called on the members of the armed group to refrain from actions could endanger the lives and health of citizens and cause tension. Talking to Lragir.am, Varuzhan Avetisyan, one of the members of the armed group, confirmed that they had done it as a sign of protest. “Yes, we did set the car on fire, 15 minutes from the posts of the police. The car was in our premises, we parked it 15 meters from their posts and set it on fire. Besides, we have downed a drone. We did the right thing because they have deprived us of communication, food, electricity. That is why we took this step in answer,” Varuzhan Avetisyan said. He said they had set the car on fire an hour before, and it was still burning. Then the police sent a drone to watch the area of the police HQ. “Arayik Khandoyan, one of our heroes, downed the UAV with two shots. It was a small device for surveillance,” he said.
