Head of the Armenian Parliament Committee for Human Rights and Public Relations, MP from Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) Elinar Vardanyan has addressed the participants of the opposition rally that is due to start in the Liberty Square in Yerevan not to let the authorities manipulate them.
Addressing representatives of the three parliamentary opposition forces (Armenian National Congress, PAP, Heritage), Vardanyan recalled the Article 25 of the Constitution of Armenia stipulating that any person who is in Armenia on a legal basis has a right to free movement.
"Those who will arrive in Yerevan from the regions to join the rally and face any obstacles on their way should feel free to contact the Parliamentary Committee for Human Rights and Public Relations by the following phone number -011 513 314," she said.
Earlier today, Tigran Urikhanyan, MP from Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP), PAP Spokesperson, told ArmInfo the authorities use every thick in the book to impede the parliamentary opposition's rally in the Liberty Square today, on October 10.
"Yet early in the morning today a resident of Ashtarak alarmed that he was not allowed to arrive in Yerevan by his own car. Nevertheless, representatives of the three parliamentary parties - PAP, Heritage, and Armenian National Congress - accompanied by reporters drive through the key roads leading to the capital city to prevent unlawful attempts by the Police or others to block the roads. Anyone who will attempt to impede our rally will be brought responsible," Urikhanyan said.
