    ARMENIAN PM DOWNPLAYS REVOLUTION FORECASTS

    YEREVAN, MARCH 28, ARMENPRESS: Armenian prime minister Andranik
    Margarian swept off today forecasts that Armenia is next in the row
    of former Soviet republics that would see a popular revolt against
    the incumbent regime. He said Armenia is free of conditions, which
    ignited popular movements against regimes in Georgia, Ukraine and now
    in Kyrgyzstan.
    Speaking to journalists, Margarian said both parliamentary and
    presidential elections in Armenia would be held in due time through
    legal processes.
    Margarian said: "Democracy continues to develop in Armenia, there
    are no economic problems and ways for settling the Karabagh conflict
    are being searched.. There are no basic reasons here to ignite revolt
    against the current authorities."
    Margarian said there is always external pressure (on Armenia), but
    added: "authorities are strong and the opposition will never do
    anything that may jeopardize the country's national security."
    "Last year I said that the Armenian opposition showed its wisdom
    and prudence and refrained from moves that could result in bloodshed.
    I think it will retain this wisdom and prudence," he concluded.
