5:06 pm
a deepening political crisis there behind days of mass protests the began when the president of ten years was elected by parliament to the prime minister's office from your guy reports was the tenth day of mass demonstrations in the capital yerevan and there's no sign of them slowing down they are binoche is protesting in armenia figgy is tens of thousands of protesters blocked roads in the city center. the police arrested three opposition leaders provoking yet more anger at the appointment of former president serge sarkisyan as the country's prime minister armenia's a ruling republican party nominated star decent as its candidate more than a week ago opponents accuse him of engineering a power grab so i guess you know who was president for ten years tonight he had any intention of becoming prime minister that was until
5:07 pm
a few weeks ago when he made public the decision to run. that prompted the protests and calls for his resignation by his political opponents. a faction that got seven or eight percent of the parliamentary vote has no rights to speak on behalf of the people. if you do not accept the legitimate requirements of the state then good bye while he's adamant he won't quit his new role as prime minister so he seems legacy as president poses several challenges i mean year has struggled economically for two decades and despite actually dependent on russia the official unemployment rate is at nearly twenty percent with a third of the population living below the poverty line and the main industries are in the hands of the business elite including the prime minister on top of all this the borders with azerbaijan and turkey remain closed and there is little movement
5:08 pm
in normalising armenia's relations with its neighbors so nick i go. right leslie the very latest now by speaking to maria who is editor in chief of a.b.n. report that's an independent online news service and she's joining us from the armenian capital yet of. first of all can you tell us what the race is with regard to the arrest and charging of the three m.p.'s because from what you said to us before a process now needs to be followed. that's correct yes national assembly has seventy two hours to call an emergency session a majority vote can strip the immunity of the three opposition leaders that are currently detained and charged as far as we know they're being held at a police station in a suburb of you know via however the national assembly president made a statement he made no reference to those charges he did call for political dialogue an easing of tensions and that these. irrevocable or armenia tensions did
5:09 pm
not ease and as we're speaking medicare we're looking at live pictures from you get a van and we're seeing church leaders joining the protesters on the streets how representative of the numbers which looks like tens of thousands from where i'm sitting but how representative are they of three point one million people. the protests that have been taking place for ten days now have included people from all social and economic strata they have a good students they have included ordinary you know workers people from the i.t. sector you know a couple of days ago the president gave an interview to a local t.v. station and he said this is going to hurt tourism about an hour a week ago we heard that about seventy two operators came together and said that they were also joined the movement so you know all of the excuses they're using to
5:10 pm
try and disperse these protests is clearly not working because it is sort of crossing a it is a cross-section of all layers of society primarily the youth of the students who have been taking place is unprecedented and the with still looking at. a live shot from yerevan and there are many many policemen and the the role of the police and the security forces in these protests will be critical what is the situation. with regard to them and how they abiding by law and order and the constitution. you know one of the slogans these acts of civil disobedience are the ten days have included a slogan that says police officer put down your weapon and join us people have been appealing to the security forces because we have to remember for some reason our media has about twenty to thirty thousand internal security forces which is
5:11 pm
a very high number i mean it's a very small country there's no degree of separation everybody has a family member somebody know that works within the police. so that has been the appeal we have seen no police no security personnel breaking ranks if that were to happen in the tide would certainly change but at up until this point the police especially this morning when there were clashes in a district of yet have been they used excessive force they use stun grenades they used their baton to people were dragged away and that was when two of the three parliamentarians were also you know whisked away in unmarked cars so the security and just below my office right now there are armored personnel carriers vehicles there are bus loads of police and riot police it is a very very tense and fluid situation right now when you get up on especially since at seven o'clock there was a rally. scheduled and it seems that the people although leaderless are now
