    ARMENIA'S PRESIDENT-ELECT OFFERS PEACE TO OPPOSITION

    Armenia's president-elect, Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan, has offered
    peace to the opposition, which claims he won last week's election
    through rigging.

    "I call upon you to eradicate your hatred," Sargsyan told a rally
    in Yerevan on Tuesday in addressing opposition supporters who were
    simultaneously holding another rally in the capital.

    The premier called those who had gathered at the opposition rally
    "our brothers and sisters." "It is love for a prosperous Armenia that
    has brought them there," he said.

    But he accused opposition leaders of devious motives. "I know these
    people quite well, but I'm not someone who would allow them to go on
    with their actions. I will make maximum efforts to have these actions
    eradicated," he said.

    "Democracy cannot accept lies and falsification," Sargsyan said.

    "We face absolutely different tasks, we need to re-address the
    expectations of the people."

    "Today is not the time for division, today is the time for work,"
    the president-elect said.

    Organizers of the rally where Sargsyan spoke claimed the gathering
    had brought together up to 100,000 people.
