Ruben Melikyan: Police apparently used excessive force during the Yerevan protest

The co-founder of the “Path of Law” NGO, former Ombudsman of Artsakh Ruben Melikyan believes police actions against the protestors during the Saturday's rally inn Yerevan were apparently disproportionate. 

'The actions of the law enforcement against the participants of the peaceful protest at Charles Aznavour Square are an apparent use of excessive force. Those actions were aimed at unlawful disruption of holding the peaceful protest,' Melikyan wrote on his Facebook page. 

To remind, a protest action against the September 21 Independence Day celebration was earlier dispersed by police. Several people were forcibly taken to police stations as they tried to march to the Republic Square.
