PHOTO: Number of People at France Square as of 8:15 AM

Today, on May 24, the leaders of the "Resistance" movement invited their supporters to France Square at 8:00 AM. Daniel Ioannisyan, the program coordinator of the organization "Citizen's Awareness", wrote on his Facebook page: "Yesterday, Ishkhan Saghatelyan called for a gathering at France Square at 8:00 AM. As of 8:15 AM, there were 553 people in that square, including police and journalists. The count, as always, was carried out by the 'Citizen's Awareness' organization by taking aerial photographs and counting everyone one by one.

Thus, about 500 people are ready to go out to the streets in the mornings on the call of the parliamentary opposition. About 500 people who almost every day turn the city traffic into hell." Ioannisyan also added: "It has always been interesting to see how many people the opposition brings out in the mornings. But if these were always protests happening simultaneously in different locations (which made counting impossible), today the opposition invited everyone to one place, which opened up the possibility for counting."

The rally from the air is available here.
