Armenian Environmental activists who organized rally in the Yerevan’s Mashtots park have spread an urgent message informing that there are many policemen in the park and their numbers are increasing.

The message of the activists reads as follows:

“SOS Mashtots park….!!! Yerevan

We set a tent for the rally, which is legal according to the Armenian Constitution and does not violate any law, but the Armenian police disagree with us. They claim we are not allowed to set tents and for setting them we must get the permission of the authorities. Currently we have surrounded the tent so it won’t be damaged.

The police demand to remove the tent but we will not surrender.

The park is full of police officers and their numbers increase.

WE ASK EVERYONE TO JOIN US IN THE PARK…!!!

The bigger our numbers are the better.

If you can bring hot tea and food bring it with you.

Spread this and join us.”
