THE MARCH WAS HELD IN ONE DIRECTION

The march, which was organized in defense of the detained supporters by the united opposition in Yerevan streets, is over.
Today’s march was more crowded as compared with previous marches, since many people from regions also joined them. They had come to participate in Serge Sargsyan’s rally, but they joined Ter-Petrosyan’s rally.
The participants of the rally were led by Nikol Pushinyan, Ararat Zurabyan and Norik Norikyan.
“I have come to find my Mother and Grandmother, they are here since morning”, told Roman to “A1+”. His friend told us that judging from the permanent rallies, he was confirmed that they would win.
The organizers intended to lead the march into two directions – one to the CEC, the other one to the General Prosecutor’s Office. They wanted to hand over letters to the departments. But at the end the march was led in one direction – Mashtots Avenue, Amiryan Street, Republican Square and the Liberty Square.
