“PROVOCATEURS SHOULD BE PUNISHED”
Support A1+!As promised Armenia’s Police do their utmost to prevent the opposition’s rally near the Matenadaran. As usual the authorities have restored to “traditional” preventive methods. For instance, they ban people’s access to the capital.
We have already received alarms from regions that people are not transported to the capital as the main roads are blocked.
On June 20 the Popular Movement issued a statement which holds in part, “The Pan-Armenian rally organized by the Popular Movement is scheduled for 6.00 on June 20 near the Matenadaran. Organization of rallies stems from a RoA citizen’s constitutional right.
The rally will focus on the restoration of fundamental rights and freedoms of RoA citizens, implementation of PACE Resolution 1609 ahead of the PACE summer session.
We welcome the Police intention “to avert mass disorders and provocations.”
We agree that the Police should take rough measures towards provocateurs. Moreover, they shouldn’t break people’s right to rallies and demonstrations. We express our readiness to cooperate with the Police to ensure the security of ralliers.”
