“After the units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) left the territory surrounding the Parliament, rally participants became aggressive and attempted to damage the iron gates of the legislative body,” the MIA has said.

“The employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to restore the rule of law, administered special means defined by law, the so-called pepper spray and water cannon.

We call upon each participant of the rally to express their protest peacefully, refrain from violent actions, and follow the legal instructions of the law enforcement officers.

The police will take legal action against any fact of violation,” reads the statement.
