Authorized opposition rally held in Yerevan
An authorized opposition rally was held in Yerevan yesterday. Addressing the demonstrators, Armenia's first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan slammed Turkey's proposal to form a commission of historians to study the fact of Armenian Genocide in 1915. "Making such a proposal, Turkey aimed to suspend the process of the Armenian Genocide international recognition," he said.
It's worth noting that the demonstrators refrained from their usual march down Yerevan streets, following the city administration's request to honor the Day of the Deceased marked in the republic on September 15 this year.
The next rally will be held on September 26 'to summarize the outcomes of the domestic events and outline future activities', said Levon Zurabyan, a member of the Armenian National Congress.
