/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Today a number of social and political organizations
planned a protest rally in front of Armenia Mariott hotel,
where Mikhail Saakashvili is staying during his official visit to
Yerevan. Yet, the police violently broke up the rally, forcing rally
participants to the side of Northern Avenue and Tigran Mets Street.
Rally participants aimed to voice Armenian society’s demands to
Georgian President. The demands included: legal status provision
to Armenian Apostolic Church, maintaining and improving tutoring
quality in Armenian schools of Georgia, founding of Armenian-Georgian
University.
When questioned by Pan.ARMENIAN.Net reporter as to the reason of rally
being broken up, one of the policemen responded that rally participants
are interfering with the event conducted in hotel building. Yet no
events were being held in hotel building at that moment.
