UIC statement on the number of participants in the May 2 opposition rally

Today, on May 2, the opposition “Resistance” movement was holding a rally in the France Square of Yerevan from 18:00.

The Union of Informed Citizens carried out an aerial count of the participants of the rally, as a result of which it was revealed that as of 18:40, there were about 3,800 people in the France Square and the surrounding areas.

It should be noted that some participants of the rally might not be visible due to being under trees or tents. In addition, due to the rain, some participants were standing with umbrellas․ In such cases, we were guided by the hypothesis that there could be two people under each umbrella.

The calculation was performed through individual counting of participants.
