"Bjni" mineral water factory workers wish to organize a rally to
raise their voices against the problems caused by Armenian authorities.

They submitted a notice to the Yerevan city council with the request
to hol a rally on December 12.

Although they have not received permission to hold a rally several
times, this time workers have declared that from now on, they will
not pay attention to any rejection and will hold a rally on their own.

Let us recall that worker of "Bjni" mineral water factory Valerik
Gevorgyan has received a notice from the Yerevan city council with
the request to hold a peaceful rally and march.

Based on the results of the notice presented on October 30, the Yerevan
city council sent Valerik Grigoryan a reply in written form stating:

"The route you stated in your notice are the highways and streets of
Yerevan with the most traffic and your march will cause traffic jams
in Yerevan and problems for drivers and pedestrians."

The appeal presented on November 13 had also been rejected.
