    KARABAKH DENIES ROLE IN QUELLING RALLIES IN ARMENIAN CAPITAL

    YEREVAN

    The government of the Nagornyy Karabakh Republic (NKR) made a
    statement today denying reports that the law-enforcement units of the
    republic headed by the chief of the NKR police, Armen Isagulov, were
    involved in quelling the demonstration on Yerevan's Bagramyan Avenue
    on the night of 12-13 April.

    The statement says that "the NKR government denies using the Karabakh
    factor in Armenia's domestic political life", Mediamax reports.

    "The NKR government is stating that the rumours about the involvement
    of the republic's law-enforcement bodies in the Yerevan developments
    are wide of the mark and are being spread deliberately. Not a single
    law-enforcement unit of the NKR was deployed outside the republic and
    all members of staff, including the chief of the police, are
    fulfilling their duties on the spot as usual," the statement says.

    "The NKR government is calling on all political forces and mass media
    to refrain from spreading unverified reports, which may harm the
    implementation of common national tasks," it says.
