Rally kicks off at French Square (video)
15.11 The head of the Yelk faction Nikol Pashinyan made a speech. He thanked the citizens who went out to the streets and took their right, victory, and homeland. "And so, make a step and deny Serzh," he shouted. He was surprised to find that his daily place of work was near to him. "The way to my work is closed to me, dear people. You are my employer. We, NA deputies, will accompany you with our work. We remind you that the police officers who are standing there are our brothers. Greet our policemen with fierce applause. This is a political struggle of open hands. In our hands there are no sticks, no stone, no hatred, aggression. In our hands there is only love, respect, hope. We have not applied violence against any police officer, and we will not do that. " Pashinyan said that today he apologized to all the policemen and their family members because they had to work more and did not go home because of their action. "But I assure you that what we do, we do for the sake of their children. If anybody throws anything on the police, neutralize him, he is not one of us, he is provocative," he warned.
