Youth Armenian National Congress (HAK) members today moved from the Armenian Pan-National Movement's (HHSh) office and marched through the streets of central Yerevan to inform citizens about the HAK's rally to be held at Freedom Square on September 9.

Rally awareness actions are being held in different districts of Yerevan.

HAK representative, editor-in-chief of "Haykakan Zhamanak" daily newspaper Nikol Pashinyan participated in a rally awareness action in Kentron district and passed out flyers with the participating youth.

"The most important decisions on Armenia's future developments will be presented at the rally. As I was speaking with citizens today, I explained that it was very important for those decisions to be made in their presence," HAK member Nikol Pashinyan told "A1+".

Has the HAK received citizens' alarms regarding hindrances for participation in the rally? In response, Nikol Pashinyan said he wouldn't like to speak of hindrances because the clear objective is to overcome any hindrance. "As I meet with people living in the provinces, I only tell them that there is no hindrance and the people are invincible."

A short while ago, an incident took place at the Khanjyan-Vardanants intersection as two people dressed in civil uniforms tried to get into a dispute with young HAK members.

The youth say the police officers sent those two people, who were following up on the youth throughout the action. A police officer in a uniform was taping the people in that incident, but didn't even try to interfere or stop the dispute.
