Ara Zohrabyan, former head of Armenia’s Chamber of Advocates and leader of the opposition Zartonk (Awakening) party, called for a rally at the Republic Square in downtown Yerevan on Monday.

In a public post on Facebook, he announced the launch of a “liberation movement” aimed at preventing the demarcation and delimitation of the border with Azerbaijan contrary to Armenian interests, including demanding the publication of documents that are to be signed.

The movement also demands that the authorities fully equip the frontline troops with arms and defend Armenia's territorial integrity, Zohrabyan said.

“Our struggle is aimed at preserving the Armenian statehood. The country's security is in the hands of each of us, from Syunik to Tavush, from Shirak to Artsakh,” Zohrabyan wrote.

“On November 22, at 5pm, let’s gather at the Republic Square in Yerevan to show that we are the masters of our country and statehood,” he said.
