    Robert Kocharyan: Yerevan Municipality urged political parties not to
    organize processions in city center just to protect interests of
    Yerevan citizens

    ArmInfo. Yerevan Municipality urged political parties not to organize
    processions in the city center just to protect the interests of Yerevan
    citizens, President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan said at a briefing at
    Yerevan Municipality, Friday.

    He said the call applies, first of al, to presidential contenders. The
    concern is explained by rush hours in the city streets. 'I demanded
    explanation of such a call from the city administration today and
    received quite a logical answer. No one bans processions, but it is
    desirable to organize them not in central streets in order not to
    create problems for dozens of thousands of citizens. I demand my
    security service to organize my travel inside the city not via central
    streets and especially Mashtots Avenue. For instance, I go to the
    Government via Demirchyan and Proshyan streets not to create
    inconveniences to citizens. Let's imagine that 9 candidates for
    president organize processions from 4:30pm to 7:00pm along Sayat Nova,
    Mashtots and Nalbandyan streets at least twice in a week. What will
    happen to the city within these 18 days? The municipality will have to
    block these streets and the dissatisfaction of citizens will be
    directed just against them. There is no categorical ban on it', the
    president said.
