News is out that there is going to be increased security in the first week or so of September in Yerevan, surrounding the upcoming football match on September 5. I agree that this will likely be used as an excuse to (try to) ban the protest scheduled on September 6. But what about the protest that will happen if Gul comes to watch the game with Sarksyan - the protest that has been promised by the ARF? Will that be banned, too? Maybe it will be a good excuse to ban both of them and appear, superficially, to be "consistent"... but then the ARF will be in the coalition that is banning their own protest.
Can SS ban one, but not the other? Can the ARF stay in the Ruling Coalition if they are banned from protesting? Did SS know that the ARF would call for protest if Gul comes?
Of course, all of this rests on whether Gul actually accepts the invitation...
