Women for Peace Demonstration

LTP Rally 550With international pressure on the Armenian government to reconsider controversial amendments to legislation effectively prohibiting opposition protests, Unzipped is happy to announce that the first officially sanctioned open demonstration by female supporters of Levon Ter-Petrossian will be staged tomorrow at 3pm.

This is the first authorised by the Yerevan municipality rally organised by “Women For Peace” pro-opposition NGO. It will take place on 19 April, 3pm, near the statue of Myasnikyan. I am pleasantly surprised with this development. With all internal and international pressures, is this a first - albeit small but indicative - sign of upcoming changes? I wholeheartedly want to believe so.
