City Hall sanctions ARF rally
The Yerevan City Hall has sanctioned an October 9 meeting of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutiun.
On September 28, ARF Supreme Body representative Armen Rustamian notified the City Hall of the Party's upcoming mass meeting to start with a march and be followed by a rally near the Tsitsernakaberd Genocide Memorial. The rally starts at 5 p.m. and heads from Republic Square-Amiryan Str.-Mashtots Ave.-French Square-Baghramyan Ave.-Orbeli Str.-Kievyan Str.- to the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial.
But the City Hall has banned the conduct of a rally by vehicles in Yerevan streets.
The City Hall has also banned ARF's October 4 march through the capital's 12 administrative regions grounding the denial by Yerevan's car-clogged streets and traffic jams.
"The march will upset the city's routine, make Yerevan streets impassable and restrict citizens' right to move," said the City Hall.
