    US EMBASSY TO HOLD PEACEFUL RALLY IN YEREVAN FOR US CITIZENS

    US citizens in Armenia are planning to hold a sanctioned political
    rally in Yerevan on 30 September 2011, according to a press release
    by the US Embassy in Yerevan.

    The demonstration will be held 6:30 pm on Freedom Square, followed
    by an authorized march through central Yerevan.

    The march is expected to start from Freedom Square, proceed down
    Mashtots Avenue, Amiryan Street, Nalbandyan Street, Tumanyan Street,
    Northern Avenue and come back to Freedom Square, but it could also
    spread to other downtown areas, the statement said.

    US citizens should exercise caution and consider alternative routes
    to avoid the downtown area during the march, as it may create traffic
    disruptions, it added.

    "We remind US citizens that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful
    can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence without
    warning," read the statement.

    "You should avoid the areas of demonstrations if possible, and exercise
    caution when in the vicinity of any demonstrations. Stay current with
    media coverage of local events and be aware of your surroundings."

    Further, it said that US citizens traveling abroad should regularly
    monitor the US Embassy's website, and the US Department of State's
    Bureau of Consular Affairs website, where the current Worldwide
    Caution, Travel Warnings, Travel Alerts, and Country Specific
    Information can be found.

    The US Embassy also encouraged US citizens to review "A Safe Trip
    Abroad," which includes valuable security information for those both
    living and traveling abroad.
