YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 25, NOYAN TAPAN. The fair mass of the machinery of
state of Armenia is continuing to join the national movement and that
process will continue. This statement was made by Levon Ter-Petrosian,
the first President of the Republic of Armenia, on the Freedom square
on February 25.
In his words, the movement is proceeding much more successfully,
than he had planned.
In the words of Levon Ter-Petrosian, today Armenia has appeared in
the center of attention of the international community and what is
happening on the Freedom square cannot escape the attention of the
world. He assured those present that soon the European Union, NATO, and
the European Parliament will make corresponding statements. According
to him, he has met with Ambassador Arens, the Head of the OSCE
observation mission on the same day and is going to meet with Jan
Kubish, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Slovakia and the Chairman
of the CE Ministers' Committee.
According to Levon Ter-Petrosian, the authorities will not dare to use
any mass acts of violence towards people as they understand that it
will be their end. For that reason they turn to detentions, however,
the more people are detained, the thicker the rows of the movement
become. He stated that they have tried to use psychological pressure
even upon himself by inviting the head of his guards to the police
department and offering to disarm the guards. However, the latter
has refused as the function of the guards of the first President is
defined by law and it does not obey anyone.
Levon Ter-Petrosian mentioned that in spite of the circulating rumours
about the assault upon the participants of the rally, the number of
those "living in tents" is constantly growing, last night it reached
7 thousand. He himself remained on the square and had a rest for a
few hours, all in all, in his car parked in the vicinity. "As far as
I have not moved to the residence of the President, my residence is
the Freedom square," Levon Ter-Petrosian declared.
