Ruzanna Grigoryan, Gor Hakobyan, Arpine Galfayan and Eghia Nersisyan, the activists undertaking the protection of the Mashtots park, explain the role of the police in this struggle.

The role of the police has changed throughout the struggle. While in the beginning the police acted as an intermediary between the activists and the City Hall, handling the situation within legal boundaries, at later stages they have been increasingly violent and unlawful towards the activists.
