Politics

Today’s rally in Northern Avenue is conducted by HHSh member Aram Manukian. The latter addressed the ralliers saying, “Free and independent citizens of Armenia,” “Owners of Northern Avenue,” “Members of the Armenian National Congress,” and the like.

After greeting the presentees he said the rally aims to support Ararat Zurabian who stands for the district head of Kentron Commune.

Manukian cited some articles from the RA Election Code, saying that today’s non-authorised rally is compliant with the law and cannot be deemed as illegal.

He also assured the ralliers that the Movement is not fading away, rather, it is gathering momentum.

At the end of his speech Mr. Manukian thanked the international observers who had attended the rally and voiced hope that “they will monitor the upcoming local election and prevent election fraud.”

The leader of the Social Democratic Henchak Party (SDHK), Lyudmila Sarkissian, also addressed the ralliers saying that the authorities deepen public distrust and disappointment towards them as they confine their right to rallies.
