Police not to interfere with opposition protests - Armenia's
president- elect
YEREVAN Feb 21
Armenia's President-Elect Serzh Sargsyan, who won the February 19
election, has thanked voters for their support.
"I thank all those who voted for me. But as I said before the
election, I intend to serve as the president of all Armenian
citizens," Sargsyan's press service quoted him as saying on Thursday.
Some in the opposition are trying to express their discontent over
the election results by provoking violence, Sargsyan said.
"In our country, everyone has the right to freedom of speech and
freedom to express one's view, but there is no room for disorder and
instability in a democratic country," the ex-premier said.
He insisted that police "will not interfere unless it is necessary to
restore order."
