Armenian lawyer Arsen Babayan reported on Monday that "Member of the National Assembly Tadevos Avetisyan was arrested during the protests," warning the police that "such an action warrants criminal responsibility."

If the police do not prove that Avetisyan committed an intentional crime and detained him based on reasonable suspicion, then those who ordered the arrest 'must bear criminal responsibility.'"
