Heritage Party MP Anahit Bakhshyan is still in hospital after becoming ill during a scuffle this morning with police in front of the Government Building in Yerevan.
Fellow Heritage MP Zaruhie Postanjyan reports that Bakhshyan’s blood pressure is high and doctors have yet been unable to get it down to acceptable levels.
"It all started when police surrounded us in a circle and started to close in. This is when Anahit Bakhshyan became ill," MP Postanjyan said.
After the encounter, during which police used force to push back former street vendors protesting the recent ban against all sidewalk commerce, Heritage Party MP’s Stepan Safaryan and Armen Martirosyan met with Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan.
The prime minister told them he would order Police Chief Alik Sargsyan to launch an investigation into the matter.
