Children train outside sealed Olympavan

PanARMENIAN.Net - Employees and young athletes of Olympavan staged an unusual protest in the area outside the sports complex. Early in the morning, boxing mats were laid out in front of the facility's sealed entrance, where a training session was held, Sputnik Armenia reported.

“Our children have competitions on July 26, and we need to prepare. We don't know what else to do, so we're forced to train here,” one of the boxing coaches told Kentron TV.

According to the coach, relocating the training sessions to another venue is difficult because more than 100 children live in the surrounding area and regularly train at the complex.

Since the early morning of July 6, officers of the National Security Service, the State Revenue Committee and the Ministry of Internal Affairs Police have carried out simultaneous searches at more than 70 locations, including Gagik Tsarukyan's residence and companies linked to him. Tsarukyan was detained. Early on July 7, the Court of General Jurisdiction of Avan and Nor Nork administrative districts considered the request for his pretrial measure, and by the end of the day ordered his detention for two months.
