Police demand leaving
Police officers are calling on participants of the Armenian National Congress's round-the-clock rally to leave Freedom Square with microphones, saying that the rally is illegal.
The tents are put up and the rally continues.
Rally organizer, editor-in-chief of "Haykakan Zhamanak" daily Nikol Pashinyan told journalists that Chief of Yerevan Police Nersik Nazaryan had said the police wouldn't interfere.
On-duty police officer at Freedom Square, Deputy Chief of Yerevan Police Robert Melkonyan told journalists that "the round-the-clock rally participants still haven't done anything illegal".
Let us remind that today ANC leader Levon Ter-Petrosyan announced that the round-the-clock rallies would last a week with the demand that the authorities fulfill 8 demands, of which the first is snap presidential elections.
The RA Police press service has issued a release regarding the ANC rally and the data.
"On September 30, the Armenian National Congress held a rall at Opera Square. The rally started at 18:50 and saw a turnout of 6,000 people.
The police maintained proper social order throughout the rally," as stated in the police release.
