Current Situation:

  • A protest by the members of the Holy Struggle group will be held at the General Prosecutor’s Office in Yerevan from 15:00 (local time) on November 20.

Assessments & Forecast:

  1. The turnout at the protest is expected to range between the high dozens to low hundreds, given the precedent observed in previous protests by the group. The authorities are liable to elevate security measures in the vicinity of the General Prosecutor’s Office, as part of a standard security protocol. Such measures will likely include the deployment of additional police personnel and the placement of barricades to monitor the crowd.
  2. Given the inherent anti-government nature of the protest, there remains a latent risk of scuffles between protesters and the police. The authorities are liable to employ crowd dispersal measures such as temporary detentions in case the protesters engage in unruly behavior by attempting to breach security parameters. Localized travel disruptions to pedestrian and vehicular traffic are anticipated in the vicinity of the aforementioned location during the protest hours on November 20.

Recommendations:

Those operating or residing in Yerevan on November 20 are advised to maintain vigilance in the vicinity of the General Prosecutor’s Office due to the slated protest and latent risk of scuffles, while allotting for travel disruptions.
