The U.S. Embassy in Yerevan alerts U.S. citizens in Armenia that Embassy staff were advised to avoid the vicinity of the protests on Baghramyan Avenue on the evening of June 28 based on media reports that police planned to disperse the protests.
We continue to recommend that all U.S. citizens continue to avoid protest areas and monitor local media and the U.S. Embassy’s website for updates.
Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and escalate into violence. You should avoid areas of demonstrations, and exercise caution if in the vicinity of any large gatherings, protests, or demonstrations.
