POPULAR MOVEMENT WILL GIVE AUTHORITIES ANOTHER CHANCE
Support A1+!Yesterday the Yerevan City Hall turned down the notification of the Popular Movement to sanction the opposition’s rally due at Liberty Square on June 20. The City Hall explained the rejection by its intention to hold an event at the Square on the same day. Later in the day, the City Hall said the rally is allowed to be held near the sports ground “Hrazdan” on June 20.
The Center for the Popular Movement made a statement which says in part:
“The authorities’ stance testifies to their fear. They break the anti-constitutional and draconian laws passed. They try their best to waive people’s right to rallies therefore they take all illegal and mean efforts. Anyway, we want to give another chance to the authorities in order to solve the question in a civilized and legal way. We shall dispute the decision in the court and apply to the City Hall once more. Displaying a constructive and flexible approach, we will offer an alternative to Liberty Square, the area near the Matenadaran.
The Movement had already stated that the rally of June 20 will take place despite the decision made by the acting regime. We reassert our resolve to restore our basic constitutional right for freedom of assemblies on that day.”
