The rally of the opposition Armenian National Congress kicked off in Yerevan's Liberty Square a couple of minutes ago.

In his addressing speech, Nikol Pashinyan, a senior ANC member and editor-in-chief of opposition ‘Haykakan Zhamanak' daily, referred to plainclothes people -‘criminals' as he called them - who crawl into the tents pitched up at the square and ‘leave odd things there.'

"I am confident that these are disguised police officers," said Pashinyan adding that the ralliers do not lose their vigilance.

Regarding the disputed expression "Tatar-Mongol" which is frequently used in ANC rallies, Pashinyan said the words are used to characterize the authorities.

"Do not act as Tatars and Mongols and we shall not label you with these words," said Pashinyan.
