We believe that peaceful protests are an element of an open political system, Spokesperson for the US Department of State Ned Price told a daily briefing, commenting on ongoing protests in Armenia, Armradio.am reports.
“We believe that peaceful protests are an element of an open political system. We fully support the fundamental freedoms of expression and peaceful assembly. We urge people to express their opinions in a peaceful manner. We urge authorities to exercise restraint and encourage those protesting to refrain from violence and to respect the rule of law and Armenia’s democracy,” the Spokesperson said.
