Investigators treat oppositionist Gukasyan as organizer of Yerevan riots

The leader of the Movement "Get up, Armenia!" Andrias Gukasyan is accused of organizing riots in Yerevan on July 29. A figurant in the case is also Armen Martirosyan, a Vice-Chairman of the "Heritage" Party.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on July 29, a march in support of the capturers of the police building in Yerevan was dispersed by power agents, after which 73 marchers applied for medical aid. During the march, near the Sari Tag District, the crowd split into two groups. The police then reported that among the leaders of one of the groups was Andrias Gukasyan, and of the other – Armen Martirosyan. At night on July 30, the oppositionists were detained.

The indictment of Andrias Gukasyan, who is also an active member of the Front "New Armenia", was reported to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent by Lusine Sahakyan, his advocate. Investigators treat him as the organizer of unrests in the Sari Tag District.

Armen Martirosyan is another figurant in the case, the "Interfax" writes with reference to the Investigating Committee of Armenia.
