Today the Armenian opposition has sent a letter to the Chief of Police
of the Republic of Armenia. The letter runs in part,

"Since we did not get a copy of the City Hall’s decision about the
rejection of our application within 72 hours we consider our desire
to hold a rally to have been accepted."

Thus the opposition rally of March 1 will go ahead by the Matenadaran
at 2:00. The rally will be followed by a march through the capital
central streets to the scene of the clashes between security forces
and opposition protesters.

Near the Statue of Miasnikyan the rally participants will lay a wreath
of flowers to commemorate the victims of March 1.

Copies of the letter were sent to the Human Rights Defender, diplomatic
structures and international organisations, City Hall and mass media
representatives.
