Today, the citizens holding a car rally at the Republic Square against the new Law on Funded Pension did not know why the police have registered the license plates of all cars. “We do not know the reason, but we joke that the policemen were doing inventory,” said Levon Harutyunyan, “There was no one there breaking the rules, I do not think they were registering for breaking the rule, even if they have registered violation, we will dispute. It seemed to me that they were registering the license plates for intimidation, there is definitely no serious thing.” As Levon told, the car rally proceeded exactly as planned and served the goal. “People became informed, they got to know what the law is, what is expected to them. This civil disobedience will be continued.” The activist considers that the law entering into force is not a defeat, “We will be going to the end, the civil disobediences would be so much until they take up their law back. They are grabbing our money; I consider it slandering.” The Media Department of RA Police did not explain why the license plates of cars are registered. Ashot Aharonyan said that the police was doing its job. To our question of whether the activists violated the traffic rules during the protest action, Mr. Aharonyan said, “I have nothing to add”.
