RA President's Spokesman Viktor Soghomonyan said d during today's press
conference in Yerevan that he believes `the world has a clear idea of
what really happened in Armenia on March 1st and 2nd.' This was
promoted by the meetings of Armenian leaders with the US Deputy
Assistant Secretary of State Matthew Bryza, EU Special Representative
for the South Caucasus Peter Semenby and PACE representative John
Prescott.
The President's Spokesman said the chronology of events has been
restored. `I'm confident that after getting familiarized with these
materials, no one will doubt what happened in Yerevan in reality,'
Viktor Soghomonyan said.
Commenting on the suggestions of international organizations to lift
the state of emergency, the President's Press Secretary reminded that
`the authorities of the country are responsible for the security of
Armenian citizens, and all the decisions are made taking into
consideration the realities.'
Viktor Soghomonyan underlined that the restrictions on media connected
with the state of emergency are of temporary nature.
Spokesman of the Armenian President Viktor Soghomonyan considers `weak'
and `unreasoned' the suits on annulment of election results, submitted
to the Constitutional Court by presidential candidates Levon
Ter-Petrosyan and Tigran Karapetyan.
Viktor Soghomonyan stated that no new arguments and documents were
presented during the hearings at the Constitutional court. He reminded
that the Administrative Court did not receive any application
concerning election frauds from Levon Ter-Petrosyan's representatives.
`This means that they either did not have facts and real arguments, or,
which is worse, the candidate and his team were not even going to take
the legal path,' Viktor Soghomonyan stated. According to the Spokesman
of the President, this is evidenced by the fact that that
Ter-Petrosyan's supporters tried to seize power with the use of force
on March 1.
Viktor Soghomonyan also noted that, despite Levon Ter-Petrosyan's
unhindered participation in the session of the Constitutional Court on
March 5, his supporters continue asserting that the ex-President is
under `house arrest.'
