\n\tProtests by the civic initiative "Let's Liberate the Monument from the Oligarch" outside the Covered Market owned by Republican Party of Armenia MP, oligarch Samvel Aleksanyan continued yesterday, joined by a demonstration by Aleksanyan's supporters. After members of the civic initiative left the scene, Epress.am caught on camera how Aleksanyan's brother-in-law, who is always near the Covered Market at the time of demonstrations, was talking to the police.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the same time, standing nearby were a group of women, who are always present at the demonstrations and who are usually bussed to the scene.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring the demonstrations, these women always want to be filmed, but after the demonstration they didn't like the fact that they were continuing to be filmed by members of the press. They asked not to be filmed, insisting that they work at the market, then one of the women, who is often prominently visible during the demonstrations, said to the camera, "Let Samvel Aleksanyan take the Komitas Market too, fix it up, [so that] people can work."\n<\/p>\n
