Armenia: Opposition activists to demonstrate in Yerevan April 6
Opposition activists to stage protest at Charles Aznavour Square in Yerevan, Armenia, from 15:00 April 6; heightened security likely.
Opposition activists affiliated with the Democratic Alternative Party plan to protest at Charles Aznavour Square in Yerevan from 15:00 April 6. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand early elections. The number of people who may participate in the protest was not immediately clear. Protest organizers plan for this gathering to be the first in a series of related rallies to be held in Yerevan and elsewhere over the coming months.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the demonstration as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
