    Police detain several participants in protest action near Indoor
    Market in Yerevan

    The police have detained several participants in the protest action
    near the Indoor Market in Yerevan. ArmInfo's correspondent reports
    from the scene that the action is still going on, the police have
    managed to separate the activists and the crowd of the so-called
    "local residents". To note, those who introduce themselves as "local
    residents" support the construction of the supermarket in the area of
    the Indoor Market.

    Unlike the members of the civil movement "Let's save the monument from
    the oligarch", the so-called "local residents" are rather aggressive
    and try to get through the police's blockade and talk to the
    activists.

    The protesters are discontent with the fact that despite the Armenian
    Culture Ministry's numerous statements about the illegality of the
    construction, the Indoor Market will open as an ordinary supermarket
    on September 15. To note, the owner of the Indoor Market is
    oligarch-parliamentarian Samvel Alexanyan.
