ARMENIAN OPPOSITION RECURRENT RALLY GATHERED SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN YEREVAN

Despite rainy weather several thousands of people joined a rally organized by the united opposition at the depository of ancient manuscripts of Matenadaran. To note, this time it is held not on the Liberty Square as planned before, because of a measure dedicated to the Day of Police, which has been arranged in the Theatre and Ballet Hall. Opposition leaders, namely deputy representing Justice bloc Shavarsh Kocharian, National Unity party leader Artashes Geghamian and some others stated that in spite of “the authorities’ violence and persecution did not subdue the will of the opposition and it still intends to urge the resignation of President Robert Kocharian”. That is why many of them noted of symbolic nature of the rally. However the opposition leaders refrained from making any concrete statements regarding their further plans.
