Opposition to hold rally October 15
The Armenian National Congress (HAK) holds a rally near the Matenadaran at 6:00 October 16.
Earlier, HAK asked the Yerevan Municipality to sanction the rally at Liberty Square, but the city hall rejected the appeal, offering the vicinity of Matenadaran instead.
During the meeting, the opposition will focus on "political and economic consequences of the corruption that reaches disastrous levels in Armenia," "the recent scandalous deals" and "ways of recovering democracy in Armenia."
The rally will be followed by a march.
Liberty Square has been closed for opposition demonstrations after the tragic events of March 1, 2008.
HAK vows to "reconquer" the square, which was reopened this spring after a two-year closure due to the construction of an underground parking lot.
