Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian President Robert Kocharian described today
as "provocative" Levon Ter-Petrosian's statements on the intention
to carry out a rally right after the state of emergency is lifted.
Mediamax reports that, talking to journalists, the President stated
that "for some time one should refrain from rallies, rest a little
and decrease the level of polarity in the society".
"Imagine if we give permission to hold rallies, and the people, who
participated in the unrest and collisions with the police, and the
representatives of law-enforcement bodies gather at one square. I
cannot imagine what their "communication" will be. One should be a
provoker to repeat the same steps again. Maybe, some people will be
glad to have here new collisions and new victims, and it will become a
ground to publish articles in foreign newspapers, but the authorities
will not allow that happening, especially taking into account the
fact that the 40th article of the Constitutional gives us for that
all the necessary legal grounds. I advise the citizens to refrain from
participation in rallies and remain aside from provocative statements",
Robert Kocharian stated.
