Municipality didn’t authorize fundraising for deceased soldier’s family (video)
Members of “Let’s support Qyaram Sloyan’s family” initiative today have organized fundraising in the North Avenue in order to help the family of Qyaram Sloyan, who was brutally killed by Azerbaijanis. Member of the initiative Karo Ghukasyan told “A1+” that they had applied to Yerevan Municipality for getting permission for holding the event, but they received refusal for unknown reasons, “We spoke to Deputy Police Chief Valeri Osipyan. I didn’t understand him. He says that we could have printed a statement on leaflets and distributed to the citizens, but maybe I want to transfer 1000 drams, do I have to go to a bank? We are neither holding an action, nor have brought grenades, so that to explode, I can see no sense in hindering.” Later a little quarrel occurred between the members of the initiative and the police officers. The police officers claim that the fundraising is not legal, “There is no clear decision from the Municipality that you can hold an action or a fundraising. We ourselves welcome it, but the fundraising is not controllable, it is not authorized,” they said. Members of the initiative ask, “Maybe I like keeping my money in a box or tour with a box in my hands instead of a wallet, what’s the matter?” Watch the video for details!
