The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on October 22, the council of the movement "Arise, Armenia!" put forward three demands to the Armenian Parliament, namely: discuss in the Parliament resignation of the President; publish lists of Armenian citizens, who were outside the country during the 2012-2013 elections; and make public detailed data on expenditures of the Government since 2012.

The start of protest action at the Armenian National Assembly was declared by Andreas Gukasyan, a political scientist and a member of the council of "Arise, Armenia!"

According to his story, protesters demand to meet Grair Tovmasyan, the head of the office of the Parliament in order to organize a discussion of the above demands with the Speaker Galust Sahakyan.
