OPPOSITION RALLY DUE ON SEPTEMBER 15

Politics

Since the tragic events of March 1 and imposition of a state of emergency the acting regime has roughly violated human rights and rejected over 70 notifications for opposition’s rallies. But even in the given conditions we did not give up. Since March 21 the Armenian National Congress has continued its struggle in Northern Avenue for 170 days holding about ten protest actions, marches and demonstrations.

“Finally, our valiant efforts were crowned with victory. The authorities had long rejected the opposition’s notifications of rallies. Yesterday they had to sanction our rally of September 15. Nevertheless, we were ready to ignore the illegally-imposed ban and exercise our constitutional right to rallies.

On the other hand, we cannot help tasting the fruit of our struggle –pleasure of an authorized rally - with the participation of thousands of our regional supporters whose right to move was confined on those days,” runs the statement of the Armenian National Congress States.
