    Feb 19, 2009

    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 19, NOYAN TAPAN. The Police dispersed the action
    of protest organized in front of the RA Central Electoral Commission
    building by the Special Regiment youth organization on February 19. As
    Noyan Tapan correspondent was informed by the organization members,
    on the occasion of the anniversary of the 2008 presidential elections
    they had decided to hold an action of protest reminding that the
    elections were held with all-round falsifications. However, some
    hours before the announced hour of the action, 14:00, over a dozen
    of police cars had blocked the entrance to the park in front of CEC
    and police special forces in red berets prohibited 30 demonstrants
    to enter the territory, then pushed them driving them away to the
    Armenian National Congress building in the vicinity.

    Action participant Aram Manukian, a Board member of the Armenian
    National Movement party, said in his interview to journalists that the
    police forces in red berets were especially rude to girls, as well
    as tore the RA tricolor, while the action had been organized within
    the framework of the law. "It is merely a manifestation of fear, the
    authorities are just terrified, as they know that many people will take
    part in our rally to be held on March 1," A. Manukian said. According
    to another oppositionist, Matenadaran Deputy Director Arshak Banuchian,
    "the policemen executing orders today will become victims of the system
    established by their masters tomorrow." In his affirmation, the acts
    of violence will contribute to the March 1 rally's being very crowded.
