Employees of Arinj Mall, owned by Prosperous Armenia party leader Gagik Tsarukyan, staged a protest against the sealing of retail stalls. Employees participating in the protest said the stalls were sealed on a non-working day without prior notice or any formal notification. "It was a non-working day, and they sealed the stalls in the first row. According to employees, one explanation being circulated is that the stalls were sealed because they are located beneath a high-voltage power line. The traders said they would continue demanding a clear explanation from law enforcement authorities as to why the stalls were sealed.
