    RALLY STARTS

    MP Shavarsh Kocharyan, who is presiding at the opposition-staged rally,
    after welcoming the event participants in his opening speech, said people
    had gathered here seeking decent lives in their own homeland.

    Armenia could be like Latvia, if Kocharyan wasn't Armenian president, he
    said.

    People Party leader Stepan Demirchyan, Robert Kocharyan's bitter opponent
    and key rival in presidential elections, commenting on ruling coalition's
    repeated calls for dialogue, said both sides of dialogue must observe the
    law, however, Kocharyan proved on April 13 that he put himself above the
    law.

    The crowd is repeatedly chanting "Kocharyan, go away".

    Our crew on the scene says there are tens thousands of people in the square,
    there is no room to swing a cat.

    Armenian Sciences National Academy member Raphael Ghazaryan, whose wife and
    son were among those disturbed by the police during the April 13
    demonstration, said Robert Kocharyan with his vicious qualification of the
    violence as "a brilliant operation" was far more ominous than the violence
    itself.

    Republic party leader Aram Sargssyan said the police terror raged across the
    country. The only way to get rid of it is to oust current authorities from
    power, he said.
