    Armenian opposition slams prosecutor for taking action against rally-goers

    Public Television of Armenia, Yerevan
    1 Apr 04

    [Presenter] The first figures of the Justice bloc held a press
    conference today [in connection with the criminal cases against
    opposition members following a rally on 28 March].

    [Correspondent over video of the press conference] On Thursday [1
    April], the Justice bloc held a press conference which was devoted to
    the statement of the Prosecutor-General's Office issued on 31
    March. The activists of the Justice bloc assessed the decision of the
    Prosecutor-General's Office as an unprecedented attempt at political
    harassment. Speaking about the steps and measures taken by the
    Prosecutor's Office, Albert Bazeyan (Republic Party leader) did not
    deny that they (opposition) had weapons and ammunition. We have a lot
    of weapons and this is legal, the chairman of the Republic Party said.

    The leaders of the Justice bloc stated that the actions of the
    Prosecutor's Office were illegal. The question is that they
    [opposition] were having only a meeting with their voters. The
    developments of the recent days, as Albert Bazeyan noted, prove that
    the struggle is moving from the political field to the confrontational
    field. The Justice bloc confirms that it has closed ranks to speed up
    the process of changing power.

    [Stepan Demirchyan, leader of the Justice bloc] We have done and will
    do everything possible to stage these actions peacefully to the very
    end for the sake of our state and nation.

    [Correspondent] The Justice bloc stated that the illegitimate
    president and his underlings are responsible for the explosive
    situation in the country.

    Nune Aleksanyan, Aylur.
