In their hands, the marchers are holding Armenian tricolours, flags of the "My Step" bloc, and flags with the symbols of the "velvet revolution," the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent reports.

According to the organizers, several thousand people take part in the action. They are joined by several acting ministers and members of the dissolved parliament from the "Elk" faction. Nikol Pashinyan, the acting Prime Minister of Armenia, heads the procession.
