The Ministry of Health of Armenia reported that 101 civilians and one police officer sought medical assistance following clashes between opposition activists and the police in central Yerevan. The activists were demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
Out of the total number of injured, 85 people were discharged after receiving necessary medical care. According to the ministry, the condition of a patient who sustained a wrist injury and underwent surgery is considered satisfactory. The remaining 16 people are continuing to receive necessary medical treatment, with injuries ranging from mild to moderate severity.
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, commenting on the use of stun grenades on June 12 on Baghramyan Avenue, stated that the police's actions were "lawful and professional." He added that in such situations, the police "will always act in the same manner."
On the evening of June 12, after clashes with demonstrators, the police used stun grenades against participants of the "Tavush for the Homeland" movement. This movement, led by Archbishop Bagrat Galstyan, opposes the delimitation and demarcation of Armenia's border with Azerbaijan and has been conducting continuous acts of civil disobedience for over a month, demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister.
