A meeting will take place tonight at Freedom Square at 6pm. The police have not been allowing any gatherings at the Opera however the following people are pretty sure they will succeed. This is the notice I received yesterday.

Dear Representatives of International Organizations!

Today in Armenia there are numerous cases of infringements of people's constitutional rights. Unfortunately, those cases do not result in proper reaction from the intellectuals and the wider public of our country.

Apart from any political belonging those violations should be condemned.

We, representatives of more than 70 rights-protective, youth, student and other public organizations, in the course of joint discussions have come to the following mutual directive (agreement).

We want to live in a free, democratic and open society, where the rights of every single citizen are respected and protected.

We find that social and political stability can be based exclusively on the Rule of Law, and complete protection of people's and citizen's rights.

The stability based on violence and terror is illusory and deceptive.

We condemn the course of actions undertaken by the current powers, directed at solving political issues via brutal force. Those actions through our Country off the track towards civilized development.

Our struggle pursues not political but CIVIL goals.

We urge all conscious citizens and especially the youth, who care for their Countries future well being to take part in the demonstration to be held on April 15 at 6pm in the Freedom Square.
