Yerevan's Mayor Yervand Zakaryan speaking at today's news conference on
expected opposition rallies said the municipality was empowered to authorize

Zakaryan was reminded that there is not a word about authorizing in the
decree. Coordination of rallies was mentioned in it.
"What are you basing denying authorization on?" Aykakan Zhamanak newspaper
