Epress.am -- A group "against foreign brigades and flags" in the
military parade celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Republic of
Armenia is set to march from Saryan Park in Yerevan to Liberty Square
beginning at 9 am on Sept. 21.
"We invite all those who believe that foreign countries' flags
and troops have no place in our Independence Day military parade
to participate in the protest march. The route is currently under
discussion, but the point and time of departure is definite. If
you will be participating, express yourselves - all suggestions
(clothing, posters, route and so on) are encouraged. Speak up,"
reads the statement posted on the event's Facebook page.
As previously reported, the 102nd Russian military base located in
Gyumri will be taking part in the military parade and flying the
Russian flag.
This news was conveyed to Epress.am by Armenian defense ministry
press spokesperson David Karapetyan.
Karapetyan also confirmed the participation of those Armenian military
bases that take part in Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO)
operations and are trained to be called on in case of aggression
against a CSTO signatory.
