Gyumri Municipality is impeding the meeting of Zhirayr Sefilyan, leader of the Founding Parliament Movement with the local residents set for 4:00pm on March 7 in the Gyumri Theatrical Square.
The Founding Parliament is going to meet with the Gyumri residents after its car rally "Centennial Without the Regime." The Municipality refused to provide the area for the meeting saying that the Heritage Party's meeting with the people was set for the same day. Later, Heritage Party canceled its meeting at the request of the Founding Parliament, but the Municipality did not reconsider its decision, saying festive events for children are planned in the Square and the Heritage Party was informed of the Municipality's plans. However, Heritage Party representative Armen Martirosyan said they received no notifications from the Gyumri Municipality.
The Founding Parliament qualifies the Municipality's actions as an attempt to prevent the Founding Parliament's meetings in Gyumri at the request of the authorities. Zhirayr Sefilyan has decided to meet with the local residents in the park near the" Surb Amenaprkich" Church.
