Yerevan Municipality sanctions HAK rally in Liberty Square
The April 28 rally of the opposition Armenian National Congress (HAK) will be held in Yerevan's Liberty Square, HAK said in a statement on Tuesday.
"Yerevan Municipality has revised its April 13 decision and allowed HAK to rally its supporters in Liberty Square," said HAK.
As reported earlier, the municipal authorities banned HAK from holding a rally in the square saying the square was ascribed to other public events and offering the opposition to rally its supporters elsewhere in the capital.
Liberty Square, the main traditional venue for political gatherings in Armenia, has been closed for opposition rallies in 2008 following the post-election clashes on March 1 that left ten citizens killed in Yerevan streets.
The opposition's first sanctioned rally in Liberty Square is set for April 28, at 6:00p.m.
