/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "I am confident that imposition of state of
emergency in Yerevan prevented a severe popular shock," Armenian
President Robert Kocharian told a news conference today.
"No violations were fixed during past 20 days. The state of
emergency will be lifted today and I am hopeful that no incidents
will follow. All state bodies operate in ordinary routine. The
President-elect should assume office in a governable and stable
country. It's my obligation," he said.
"Yerevan has always been the most peaceful capital city and I am
hopeful it will remain as such."
"We should derive lessons from the recent events. The state should
strengthen the popular security mechanisms to protect democracy from
the diktat of the crowd and chaos," the President said.
"I could never imagine that people capable to burn and break property
with the purpose to undermine the state system will be found in
Armenia," he said, adding, "Police were not ordered to commence
fire. They act as necessary to secure the state and population. We
all need to cure the March 1 wounds."
