The opposition’s rally scheduled for June 20 will take place near
the Matenadaran.

Statement of the Popular Movement,

We were determined not to yield to any illegality and fulfill our right
to free assemblies at Liberty Square on June 20. We have notified the
Yerevan City Hall about the rally for a number of times. The regime was
also convinced of it, therefore the authorities replaced policemen by
children because they knew from their former experience that unlike
them, we never go beyond morality. Although we condemn their mean
action, we cannot appeal to our supporters to gather at the Square
which is equipped with children’s games and where a children’s event
is due on June 20.

Therefore, the rally will take place in front of the Matenadaran,
at 6 p.m. on June 20," runs the statement of the Popular Movement.
