British Embassy Warning: 24 April
The British Embassy has just sent out a warning message to all its citizens residing or visiting the country alerting them to possible plans by the radical opposition to hold an unauthorized gathering on 24 April, Armenian Genocide Day, at Yerevan’s Liberty Square.
There have been reports that opposition supporters are planning to assemble on Freedom/Opera Square, Yerevan, on Thursday 24 April at 3pm prior to visiting the Tsitsernakaberd Genocide Memorial to mark Genocide Memorial Day.

In the context of the current period of heightened political tension, we advise British citizens to avoid the area of known demonstrations, large gatherings of people and other locations where demonstrations may take place. If it is necessary to be in the vicinity of a demonstration or gathering, we urge you to exercise vigilance and caution at all times. Demonstrations or gatherings can attract large numbers, and even if intended to be peaceful could turn confrontational.
