The opposition rally has started on Freedom Square on time. All the
opposition leaders are on the original stage.

The key topic of the rally is the events in Strasbourg (the session of
the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe). The opposition
finally has an opportunity to inform public of the course of the
debates on the the issue of the domestic political situation in the
country, and also about the fact that the Turkish and Azerbaijani
delegates did not participate at all in the debates and in the voting.

Asked if the rally will be a decisive one, the spokesman for the
political Justice bloc, Ruzana Khachatryan, said that they were
deciding something at every rally.

According to preliminary information, a procession will take place
after the rally. However, it is not known in what direction the crowd
will head.
