A group of people who blocked the Yerevan-Tbilisi road in protest against the delimitation of the border with Azerbaijan clashed with the police, Ednews reports citing News.am.
As a result, reserve colonel Grigor Grigoryan was detained.
The police used violence while detaining him.
A criminal case was initiated against 12 military servicemen who joined the residents protesting the agreement on border delimitation with Azerbaijan in Kirants village of Armenia's Tavush province, according to the Investigative Committee of Armenia.
It was noted that as the investigation is confidential, the military personnel, whose names have not been disclosed to the public, were ordered to go to the area where the protests took place. After reaching the area, the military personnel laid down the weapons assigned to them and joined the protesters.
"Necessary operational-investigative measures are carried out for a thorough investigation of the obtained facts," the Committee noted.
