A1+
[07:33 pm] 15 September, 2008
The rally organised by the Armenian National Congress has kicked off
near the Matenadaran. One can see the opposition leaders on the rostrum
among them Leader of the Fatherland and Honour Party Garnik Margarian.
Minutes ago the Leader of the New Times Party (NZhK), Aram Karapetian,
mounted the rostrum and embraced the group.
Police official Aghasy Kirapossian went up to the group and said they
had been assigned to ensure the ralliers' security. If the opposition
decides to hold a march the police will not be responsible for its
consequences as the City Hall has sanctioned only the rally.
Note, the police had clashed with representatives of the "Hima"
(Now) Youth Initiative before the rally.
When asked about the reasons a police representative said, "We shall
not let everyone offend our President."
