    Heritage Party MP Anahit Bakhshyan is still in hospital after
    becoming ill during a scuffle this morning with police in front of
    the Government Building in Yerevan.

    Fellow Heritage MP Zaruhie Postanjyan reports that Bakhshyan's blood
    pressure is high and doctors have yet been unable to get it down to
    acceptable levels.

    "It all started when police surrounded us in a circle and started to
    close in. This is when Anahit Bakhshyan became ill," MP Postanjyan
    said.

    After the encounter, during which police used force to push back
    former street vendors protesting the recent ban against all sidewalk
    commerce, Heritage Party MP's Stepan Safaryan and Armen Martirosyan
    met with Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan.

    The prime minister told them he would order Police Chief Alik Sargsyan
    to launch an investigation into the matter.
