    YEREVAN MUNICIPALITY SAYS OPPOSITION CANNOT HOLD 'URGENT' RALLY

    19:47 | February 16,2015 | Politics

    Yerevan City Hall has issued a statement saying the notification about
    an 'urgent rally' submitted by the three opposition parties does not
    comply with Articles 26 and 27 of the Law on urgent rallies.

    "On February 16, the three opposition forces - Prosperous Armenia
    Party (BHK), Heritage and Armenian National Congress (HAK), known as
    the trio, submitted to the Yerevan Municipality a notification that
    they are going to hold an emergency rally in Yerevan's Liberty Square
    on February 20.

    We announce that the second point of Article 26 of the Law on "Freedom
    of Rallies"; says "urgent" is a rally which is organized in order to
    immediately react to a situation, otherwise that purpose is impossible
    to be achieved if the notification deadline is met.

    But it becomes clear from the content of the notification letter that
    the rally is organized to respond to Serzh Sargsyan's statement made on
    February 12. The need to respond to Sargsyan's speech eight days later
    cannot serve as a ground to hold an urgent rally," reads the statement.
