The ruling My Step faction of the National Assembly of Armenia has issued the following statement:

“Dear compatriots, the faction found out from the Internet that servicemen and volunteer fighters who have returned from the military frontline and a number of citizens have organized a rally at Republic Square due to the recent domestic political events and in support of the authorities of Armenia. Taking into consideration martial law and the risks due to the coronavirus epidemic, the faction would like to ask everyone to not organize crowded assemblies.

We thank each of you for your heroic support to the homeland and assure you that we will make it justifiable through its daily activities. Realizing the created situation and our share of responsibility, we ask you to become consolidated and join us in using our full potential to rebuild the homeland.”
