23.01 A march has started from Liberty Square to Khorenatsi Street, where only journalists were left working. Supporters of the Sasna Dzrer armed group believe that if they stay close to the section of Khorenatsi street leading to the occupied police station, they will ensure the safety of the gunmen. Deputy Chief of the Yerevan Police, Valeri Osipyan, who is also at Liberty Square, urged the group to stay at the square but the demonstrators did not listen to him. 21.49 People gathered at Liberty Square are now discussing three proposals made by the rally participants: to gather for a rally on Thursday, hold a march today and start a sit-in protest. Albert Baghdasaryan, a member of the coordination committee reminded of strict police surveillance. 21.06 Several hundreds of people gathered a Liberty Square after the Founding Parliament announced that they were changing the venue of the rally and meeting at Liberty Square instead of Khorenatsi Street. Albert Baghdasaryan, a member of the coordination committee, informed the participants that the police had taken away all their technique.
