В результате выстрела снайпера в Ереване был убит полицейский

В субботу вечером, в Ереване, в результате выстрела снайпера был убит полицейский в районе, где уже две недели продолжается история с захваченным полицейским участком.

На своей страничке в Facebook начальник пресс-службы Полиции Армении Ашот Агаронян написал, что "выстрелом с расстояния 350-400 м от полка ППС убит служащий войск Полиции Юра Тепаносян, 1986 г. р. В момент выстрела он находился в машине".

Убийство произошло в субботу после того, как полиция стала угрожать штурмом полицейского участка в Эребуни. Само противостояние вокруг захваченного полицейского участка длится уже две недели. Среди требований вооруженной группы, удерживающей участок, освобождение политических заключенных, в том числе их лидера Жирайра Сефиляна. Прошлой ночью также поступали сообщения о том, что полиция проводит зачистки домов, находящихся в непосредственной близости от полицейского участка.

В пятницу же полиция во время разгона митингующих применила чрезмерную силу. В результате чего более шестидесяти человек оказались госпитализированы, и также десятки других были задержаны.

Также стрельбу слышали и днем в субботу.

European States "disturbed and deeply concerned at the deteriorating situation in Georgia"

A number of European states have said that they are "disturbed and deeply concerned at the deteriorating situation in Georgia". In a Joint statement of 11 July 2025 the Foreign Ministers of Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the High Representative of the European Union commented on recent developments in Georgia We, the Foreign Ministers of European democracies, are disturbed and deeply concerned at the deteriorating situation in Georgia. We strongly condemn the recent, politically motivated, imprisonment and detention of the leaders of Georgian opposition, clearly designed to stifle political opposition in Georgia, a few months ahead of the local elections. Their detention, as well as arbitrary arrests and increasing repression of other Georgian authorities` critics, representatives of civil society, peaceful protesters and independent journalists, contribute to dismantling of democracy in Georgia and rapid transformation towards an authoritarian system, in contradiction to European norms and values. Recent legislative changes aim at stifling independent civil society and legitimate protest.
