    Tbilisi. March 03 (Prime-News) - "Republican" party of Georgia condemns
    latest development in Armenia and calls on Armenian authority to stop
    violence against Armenian people.

    "Murder of citizens during demonstrations, arrest of oppositional
    activists, introduction of the state of emergency and censor, using
    of military detachments, equipment and armament confirms that the
    government of Armenia tried to use violence not having exhausted
    resources for dialogue with the opposition, which doubted official
    results of the presidential elections," reads the statement released
    by the "Republican" party of Georgia today.

    Protest rallies in Yerevan, capital of Armenia, started after the
    presidential elections. 15 000 people participated in rallies. It is
    reported that the Police fired in the air and let off tear gas to
    break up the rally. Eight people died and there are injured people
    as a result of rally.

    Robert Kocharyan, acting president of Armenia, announced a 20-day
    state of emergency after the clashes.

    Levon Ter-Petrosyan, presidential candidate of the opposition, is in
    under a house arrest. At the press conference for foreign journalists
    he stated that he would continue struggling for restoration of truth.

    Ter-Petrosyan evaluates the presidential elections and dispersal of
    the rally as violence and expresses distrust towards the government
    of Armenia.

    According to official results of the presidential elections held
    in Armenia on February 19, Serj Sarkisyan, acting Prime Minister of
    Armenia, has won the polls.
