    ORGANIZERS OF OPPOSTIONAL ACTION PERSUADE POLICE TO LIQUIDATE CORDONS
    BLOCKING PRESIDENTIAL RESIDENCE

    YEREVAN, APRIL 12. ARMINFO. Participants of the oppositional rally who
    have gathered near the presidential residence at present demand that
    President Robert Kocharyan comes "out behind the barbed wire to held
    an open dialogue with the people." They also demand that Police Head
    Hayk Haroutiunyan comes to the meeting and explains why the
    presidential residence and the National Assembly are surrounded with
    barbed wire. At present, four oppositionist MPs: Victor Dallakyan,
    Gagik Kostanyan, Grigor Haroutiunyan and Smbat Ayvazyan are near the
    building of the National Assembly and try to meet NA Speaker Artur
    Baghdasaryan in order that the latter joins the rally participants.
    However, the law-enforcers who surrounded the NA building do not allow
    the MPs to enter the Parliament. The people "gave an hour" to the
    authorities to fulfill these demands, otherwise, "the people will
    resort to other measures," said Secretary of the Justice bloc Victor
    Dallakyan. He said that tonight the opposition leaders will visit the
    country's regions to gather their supporters and "block all the
    entries to Yerevan from regions." In his turn, Leader of the Republic
    oppositional party Albert Bazeyan said that "only several meters
    remain to the change of power." Leader of the National Unity party
    Artashes Geghamyan asked the policemen to open the cordons adding that
    their "names will be added to the history of Armenia with gold
    letters."

    It should be noted that representatives of the RPA faction, the United
    Labor party and the "National Deputy" deputy group follow the action
    sitting on the grass in the territory of the NA.
