Supporters of the opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) started a procession in Yerevan at 8:00 p.m. local time.

The participants decided not to head for the police department of the Center community. A few minutes before the procession four young active members were released and arrived at the rally.

The Opposition claimed that the authorities listened to its appeal for releasing the “guys.” They stated the procession will go along the center of Yerevan. Aram Mankyan, Board Chairman, Armenian National Movement (ANM), stated that a new procession is to be held on December 10, on the occasion of Human Rights Day. The ANC’s new rally will be announced.
