A large number of police forces are dispatched to the area of Freedom Square in downtown Yerevan ahead of the rally scheduled for today, Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Independence Day anniversary, at the square.

The rally will start at 6:30pm.

The participants of the rally will unite around three main objectives-messages: “The Artsakh conflict is not resolved; we do not accept the agreements signed on our behalf with the use of force and the threat of force, which violate all our rights; we demand the return of Armenian prisoners held in [Azerbaijani capital] Baku.”
