Two participants of disobedience action detained in Yerevan

This morning, for 15 minutes, activists of the "Liberation Movement" paralyzed the work of the Yerevan metro in protest against the border delimitation with Azerbaijan. Two protesters were taken to police stations.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on November 23, members of the "Liberation Movement" held a rally in Yerevan, at which they demanded from the Prime Minister, Nikol Pashinyan, to publish the documents on the border delimitation.

Today, starting from 8:30 a.m. local time, activists of the "Liberation Movement" began blocking the doors of cars of metro trains in Yerevan.

In the video posted on the personal Facebook page of Nairi Okhikyan, one of the initiators of the action, young people stand at the entrances to metro cars, holding the doors and shouting slogans.

The metro was paralyzed for about 15 minutes, Sofia Ovsepyan, a member of the movement and a former MP from Nikol Pashinyan's bloc, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

According to Ms Ovsepyan, policemen appeared at the venue already by the end of the action; therefore, only two activists were taken to police stations, although a larger number of people participated in the action.
