today is the fourth day
of the occupation of the uh street by
protesters uh here in yerevan just in
front
of the national assembly uh building our
parliament and we're here early in the
morning not too early it's about 9 30
uh just to kind of get a look at what
the morning's like here we've been
covering the evenings and
in the the intense parts of the days for
this
uh protest here but we're gonna have a
talk with the people here and
see what the nights may be like or what
they have to say
about the situation um just to kind of
give you a look inside
here from a little different view a
different part of the day
uh so uh it's gonna be interesting like
all of our reports
uh in the most in-depth both of the
russian and
uh english subtitles uh so make sure you
like this video
subscribe share it across all social
media remember i'm an independent
totally crowdfunded journalist to
support my work with the link on the
description
in the description are on the screen and
let's show the world what's what's
happening here in irvine because it
it needs to know
followed
uh hello hello er can you please
introduce yourself of course my name is
hayek
and i'm the leader of the youth wing of
the republican party
and um here there was people that stayed
in the tents last night
yep well where we have some kind of
shifts for that because a person cannot
stay all night and afterwards
not go home and shower or shave so
that's the
part when we switch the shifts usually
we have 100 and 150 people
sometimes 200 people staying all night
well that's the point each one of them
there are some political discussions
chat
basically it passes time passes during
the night it's not a problem
sometimes we have some people sent from
the government
who are here to make a fight make a
problem
really drunk well they use all the tools
they can
they can use all the worst tools
to make something bad to the movement
but
we understand everything and
uh what do you think is going to be the
outcome of this well he has no other
choice
but ramen avenue is one of the biggest
avenues in ireland
it's an important important
transportation hub
maybe let's name it like that and it's
closed for
three i guess days before that uh we had
some
riots in two biggest universities of
yerevan
so the movement
is quite strong and i'm quite sure
that he has no power in armenia
has no power in armenia at all and he
stays
just on some some part of the
police and some part of the security
service
well i do believe that officers will
understand that they
have not to obey to the betrayer to the
traitor
the police and the secret service yeah
and they will follow the army
you know the army is already against the
generals they have joined the movement
and we are waiting for the
uh other law enforcement agencies to
join us as well
because this is where the patriots this
is where our
free citizens who are standing for their
voice and
standing for their country
and who do you think is good enough to
step into
into office well as suggested by the
movement
we have our own uh joint candidate
who has a great experience in
executive he was uh minister of defense
he was prime minister during the war
and the first war yeah and i'm quite
sure that
one of the most important points
in favor of mr manukia not counting his
expertise and his intelligence and so on
and so on and so on
is that he has announced that he is not
going to participate in the elections in
the election that had to be organized he
and his party are not going so he will
uh be in charge of organizing fear
free elections so so if i understand
correctly
if the the movement here gets their way
he'll be
put in as like an interim yeah he will
be the interim prime minister we will
have a
joint uh government although
all the ministers will be from different
political organizations
maybe some of them will not be partisan
and it will be a merit-based government
because there are very many problems in
our country at the moment
we are struggling very hard times and
it's really important to have a good
team of managers merit-based selected
uh and of course last but not least he
has to organize
elections during one year if i'm not
mistaken
uh-huh and he said he won't stay in so
no
his party membership he's the leader of
one of the parties
uh and he's not going to he has
announced that he's not going to
participate during the elections
uh-huh okay that's interesting um
and do you think there's anything
passion young can do to fix
the problem to fix er to bring up his
favor in the community you see oh i was
a radical opponent of fashion
for two and a half years uh
i haven't my eyes opened on a night of
ninth
of november it's not a surprise for me
that he's a traitor uh-huh
okay uh well before that there were some
political parties who were saying okay
let's have a dialogue
let's have discussion i don't know
negotiations and stuff like that
now we have a so-called consensus minus
one
all the political parties and i do
believe
the whole nation is on one side and
washington is
on the other with a bunch of his uh
they are not supporters they are his
team members who are
dependent on him some of them are
i don't know both by the money some of
them
of course there are some people who
believe in him still
okay they are my compat co-patriots
i won't say anything bad to them but i
do really think that
we have nothing to discuss with a
traitor uh-huh
uh all right well uh thank you very much
unless there's something else that you
think maybe the europa united states
should know about the situation here
there are two things i want to hear from
the united states and europe first of
all
i just want them to look at the
processes in our country
at the moment same way that the they did
three years ago because three years ago
when there were
any problems with the protesters or the
citizens in our country
at the moment we were we were getting
some
condemnations and announcements from the
european
american organizations regarding the
human rights
and the moment three days ago me and my
friends were taken to the police
with a brutal force practically
all oppositional leaders and youth
leaders including myself
are under the
generated political criminal political
criminal
cases and stuff like that so the only
thing i want from them
i'm not even speaking about their
silence during the war
but at the moment i think they have to
speak up and
tell the people who are saying that they
are government at the moment in our
country
that's not the way a business should be
done so basically supports
the people like they supported three
years ago i just won the same behavior
that they had
three or five years ago nothing more
nothing less but maybe the
change isn't necessarily in their favor
this time
i didn't say that either i think that
the changes had to be decided by the
armenian people so the only thing they
have to do is to be the
watch guard for the democracy as they
say they are
all right well thank you very much thank
you as well
well that concludes our look into the
morning here
at the yervan tent city or the iran
protest uh
meeting place outside parliament
whatever you want to call it
um they they've closed the street here
in front of parliament's one of the
biggest
roads in busiest in girovan has just
heard
we're going to continue to show you
everything we can here on the
the real situation in yerevan i mean
the army's come out against the prime
minister um
a lot of people are against him some are
for him we've told
that there's a uh protest that's gonna
be
uh happening tomorrow in favor with uh
passion
with his supporters uh and i'm sure
there's gonna be one against him
uh as well so we're just gonna have to
see how this plays out
i mean is the army gonna remove him from
office uh like this man said
is the uh united states and europe gonna
start supporting protesters here in
sport of human rights
uh you know what's gonna happen uh i
mean thank goodness
it's been pretty um calm and peaceful at
these protests not a lot of
violence a few people arrested and the
secret service had eggs pelted at it the
other day we showed you that
um but we're gonna see what happens and
hopefully
uh no one gets hurt and
that's not the best thing we can hope
for and that just comes to a peaceful uh
resolution uh but we're gonna have to
see this is uh
uh yerevan and armenia are in the
world's eyes
