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.
