    Levon Ter-Petrosyan: "Armenian authorities were obliged to disperse
    election protests in Yerevan"

    01 March 2008 [13:44] - Today.Az

    Armenian authorities were obliged to disperse election protests in
    Yerevan, as they had no other way out.

    The due announcement was made by Armenian ex-president Levon
    Ter-Petrosyan.

    "The authorities have in fact deceived the international community,
    assuring that there will be no violence", Levon Ter-Petrosyan, one of
    the opposition leaders, told an urgent press conference on Saturday.

    He found it difficult to tell anything about the reaction of the
    international community. "International observers have already
    departed and few foreign reporters are left", Ter-Petrosyan noted
    and said that due notifications were sent to all diplomatic
    representations and international organizations, accredited in
    Armenia, immediately after the protest startup.

    Ter-Petrosyan noted commenting on the further actions that opposition
    plans to appeal to the Yerevan city administration to get a
    permission for conduction of meetings and rallies. "If the city
    administration does not give a permission, we will hold the meeting
    anyway, as in line with the Constitution, such actions can be
    prohibited only in case of emergencies, which have not been declared,
    however", the ex-president noted.

    It should be noted that riot police have dispersed the rally of Levon
    Ter-Petrosyan's supporters, who hold peaceful protests at the square
    of Freedom withi 10 days, demanding new presidential elections.

    Ter-Petrosyan was brought to his residence guarded by officials of
    the personal guard of the Armenian President. Though, he is not under
    the home arrest, he is prohibited to leave the house.
