Employees of enterprises owned by Prosperous Armenia Party leader Gagik Tsarukyan were received at the government building after being informed that the meeting would last 15 minutes. After leaving, they said their concerns had been heard but none of their questions had been answered. The employees had gathered outside the government building, demanding that factories, stores, and other facilities be reopened so they could return to work, according to Sputnik Armenia. The protesters said they remain hopeful that a solution will be found and that they will be able to return to work next week. Participants in the protest decided to remain outside the government building for several more hours until they receive a final and comprehensive response.
