The Yerevan city council denied the ARF Dashnaktsutyun’s appeal to
hold a mass rally near the "Moscow" cinema on October 16 on the basis
of Point 2, Part 1, Article 13 of the RA Law on "Meetings, Marches,
Rallies and Demonstrations", reasoning that another event is scheduled
to take place at the same time and on the same day.
Let us remind that ARF Supreme Body representative Armen Rustamyan
presented the notice to the Yerevan city council on October 9 to hold a
rally near the "Moscow" cinema on October 16. According to the notice,
the event will launch at 6 p.m. and end at 8 p.m.
ARF Supreme Body member Tatul Harutyunyan told "A1+" that they are
going to hold the rally in any case and explained why. According to
him, the city council had not left a notice about any event to take
place on that day on their official website. Besides that, "it is not
hard to offer an alternative, which exists in the law." "They had to
offer another site. Since they didn’t, we will hold the rally there,"
said Harutyunyan
