Artarutyun opposition bloc’s Press-Secretary Ruzan Khachatryan said
Monday Yerevan municipality had authorized a rally scheduled for
coming Wednesday.

This is the first time the municipality has given its authorization
to an opposition-staged rally. Before that, the opposition has been
repeatedly denied authorization.

The opposition activists explain such a precipitous shift in the
authorities conduct with the PACE approaching session and PACE
representative Yerzi Yaskernia’s visit to Armenia.
