The Yerevan Municipality has once more prohibited the opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) from holding a rally in Liberty Square in Yerevan, March 17.

The Yerevan Mayor’s authorized representative proposed that the ANC hold its rally in front of the Institute of Ancient Manuscripts, a traditional site the ANC led by Armenia’s first president Levon Ter-Petrosyan holds its rallies.

On March 1, the ANC held a rally in commemoration of the tragic events in Yerevan on March 1, 2008. The post-election confrontation between the authorities and the Opposition three years ago claimed ten lives.
