The Armenian opposition has changed the date for its next rally in Yerevan amid the unprecedented heatwave.

The rally of the resistance movement scheduled for July 21 has been postponed at the request of a number of opposition members and supporters, opposition leader and ARF Armenia Chair Ishkhan Saghatelyan said on Tuesday.

“We have decided to reschedule the rally for Friday, July 29,” he wrote on Facebook.

“In the meantime, efforts aimed at expanding the movement are ongoing and we are closely following all political developments. We will inform you in advance if the need arises for an urgent rally,” he said.
