    POLITICAL COALITION NECESSARY FOR ESTABLISHING STABILITY IN ARMENIA

    ARKA
    March 21, 2008

    YEREVAN, March 21. /ARKA/. A four-party ruling coalition was
    established on Friday in Armenia.

    The coalition agreement was signed by Republican Party leader Serge
    Sargsyan, Prosperous Armenia chairman Gagik Tsarukyan, Orinats Yerkir
    party head Arthur Baghdasaryan and Dashnaktsutyun board member Armen
    Rustamyan.

    Orinats Yerkir MP Mher Shahgeldyan, speaking Friday at a parliamentary
    briefing, said the coalition's top-priority objective is to establish
    stability in the country.

    Dashnaktsutyun MP Hrayr Karapetyan thinks the coalition government
    should be composed of those people enjoying public respect.

    Republican MP Hermine Naghdalyan said that her party is trying to
    lead the country toward democracy and reformation

    On February 20, Armenian opposition headed by former president Levon
    Ter-Petrosyan launched protests in Yerevan's Libery Square disputing
    the results of the recent presidential election and insisting that
    the election was fraudulent.

    The police attacked protesters Saturday night.

    Protesters gathered in the square near France's embassy and city hall.

    The police department says one policeman and seven civilians were
    killed and 131 injured in clashes.

    President Kocharyan imposed a 20-day state of emergency on March 1.

    On March 21, the first day of the state of emergency term expiration,
    people staged the action of silent protest. The police bared protesters
    from lighting candles in Liberty Square as tribute to those killed
    on March 1 and pushed people from the site to nearby streets.-0--
