As reported by the Epress.am correspondent at the scene, police are standing outside the courtroom steps holding metal rods and allowing only those with government-issued ID to go inside.&nbsp;<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAs a result, Avetisyan&#39;s comrades, fellow war veterans, who <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epress.am\/en\/2014\/06\/07\/sorry-to-the-armenian-people-karabakh-war-veteran-asked-to-apologize-to-the-court.html\"><span style=\"color:#0000CD;\"><strong>demonstrate outside the courthouse<\/strong><\/span><\/a> at every trial then go inside, today remained outside as they weren&#39;t made aware of the new procedure beforehand.
