Preparing for rally
"We haven't started this process against the government, but against the possible exploitation of the uranium mine," say organizers of the anti-uranium movement.
In two days, a permitted rally will be held in Kapan against the opening of the uranium mine in Lernadzor and it has turned into the main topic for discussions in the center of the region.
Citizens of Kapan are exchanging ideas and expressing their concerns about the exploitation of the uranium mine in public transportation and on the streets.
The group is touring kindergartens, schools, companies and institutions to hold discussions on the rally and is trying to inform as many citizens as possible and call on them to prevent the exploitation of the uranium mine. According to President of "Freedom Fighter" Committee Khoren Harutyunyan, there has to be a unified struggle. He also informed that everything is legal. The group has informed the Kapan Municipality and has sent a notice to the Kapan Municipality in order to ensure security on that day.
The members have addressed several benefactors to hold the rally in a duly manner and they have agreed to help with transportation. Buses will be sent to the distant districts and villages of the city to bring those wishing to participate in the rally from the Culture Palace of central Kapan to the nearby square at 5 p.m. on November 11.
