According to Pashinyan, the matter of Armenian police launching
administrative proceedings against protestors were raised by several
members of the European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs,
considering it incompatible with democratic countries.
The newspaper reports that according to common practice in recent
years, participants of various protest demonstrations in Yerevan
