Even though the Municipality of Ararat has refused to allow Armenian National Congress, Prosperous Armenia and Heritage to organize a joint rally in the city on Oct 3, the parties are committed to hold it.
"The mayors of all the cities we are planning to hold rallies were notified of our plans and only the Mayor of Ararat refused to give permission," the opposition says.
