Armenian demonstrators remained on the streets of central Yerevan on June 24 during ongoing protests against a planned increase in electricity prices. Riot police had used water cannons to forcefully disperse mass protests on June 22, but the demonstrations the following day and night remained peaceful. President Serzh Sarkisian offered to meet with activists to discuss their demands, but protest leaders rejected the offer. The demonstrators said they would remain in the streets until the government agreed to prevent the Russian-owned energy monopoly raising electricity prices by 16 percent. (RFE/RL's Armenian Service)
