The decree signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin that same day regarding the change of leadership in Dagestan was published on the Kremlin website. Head of the republic, Sergei Melikov, has resigned, and Fyodor Shchukin has been appointed acting head.
101 citizens sought medical help after yesterday's protest near the Armenian parliament. 85 people have been discharged from hospitals, another 16 remain under observation.
The day before in Yerevan, police dispersed protesters with stun grenades. About 100 people were detained.
Let us recall that new demonstrations demanding the resignation of the government of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan began after Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed on the delimitation of the border in the Tavush region.
Today, protests outside the parliament building continued. Their leader, Bagrat Galstanyan, said that the police should walk with their heads down as long as they serve the authorities, and not serve the people. He reproached them for their actions yesterday.
