Just an hour after Serzh Sargsyan threatened opposition leader Nikol Pashinyan with the possible repeat of the deadly post-election clashes of March 1, 2008, and stormed out of the negotiation room, police violently attacked Pashinyan and several hundreds of demonstrators to prevent them from marching to Yerevan’s Erebuni district.
