    ARMENIAN PRESIDENT PLEDGES TO RELAX STATE OF EMERGENCY IN YEREVAN

    Armenian President Robert Kocharian has announced plans to relax the
    state of emergency in Yerevan.

    "I will sign a decree on Wednesday evening or tomorrow morning changing
    the attitude to the state of emergency. The current state of emergency
    says what we can do, the new decree will show what must not be done,"
    Kocharian told the press on Wednesday.

    These restrictions will be rather narrow and have to do only with
    provocative actions and the spreading of false information, he said.

    Kocharian also assured the press that the mass media would be allowed
    to express opinions and assess events more freely.

    The Armenian mass media only relay official information these days.
