/PanARMENIAN.Net/ No violations of the emergency rule were fixed
during the period of March 1-17, Armenian President's spokesman Victor
Soghomonyan told a briefing today.
"President Kocharian has no intention to prolong the state of
emergency. The Armenian authorities are thankful to the population for
understanding. As to limitations on freedom of media, the decision
was dictated by security interests. Now I can say that Armenia's
democracy was rescued from chaos and shocks," he said.
"Some editorial offices were publishing deliberately false
information. We offered them to remove a number of quotations but
they refused. As to closure of e-media, it's hard to follow how the
law is observed in this case. There are only three days left. I think
everything will be all right," Mr Soghomonyan said.
Armenian President Robert Kocharian imposed a 20-day emergency rule
on March 1.
