The Yerevan Mayor's Office has sanctioned a rally of the Armenian
opposition on Freedom Square scheduled for 26 October. But it banned a
mourning march to the building of the National Assembly on 27 October
to mark the fifth anniversary of the terror act in the Armenian
parliament.
The press service of the capital's municipal council told Arminfo news
agency that the march was not sanctioned because it was planned to lay
wreaths at the memorial to the victims of the terror act. "Wreaths are
laid with the participation of maximum 15-20 people, but not a crowd
the opposition is planning to gather," the press service of the
Yerevan Mayor's Office said.
