Protesters blocked Baghramyan avenue

An angry chain formed of women and children blocked central Baghramyan avenue in the Armenian capital today. I don't have enough data, but from what I've heard so far, they are from some village near Yerevan and are demanding the return of their jobs. They are claiming, that an oligarch, whom they identified as "Sos Tigranich" has seized a production area where they used to work. They also said the oligarch in question is the owner of Sovrano company, which is a major importer of alcoholic drinks and food, as well as involved in several media companies, including the Tert.am popular online news resource.
