Rally participants in Yerevan did not manage to voice their demands to Georgian President
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.
