    ARMENIAN PRESIDENT BELIEVES THERE IS NO POLITICAL CRISIS IN HIS COUNTRY

    RIA Novosti, Russia
    June 2 2004

    YEREVAN, June 2 (RIA Novosti). There is no political crisis in the
    country as government bodies are duly performing their functions,
    Armenian President Robert Kocharyan said at a news conference in
    Gyumri, the former Leninakan.

    "There is a conflict between the government and the opposition
    and the latter has refrained from a civilized form of fight," the
    president said.

    According to the Armenian head of state, if the Armenian parliament
    were unable to make decisions "there would be a crisis indeed a way
    out of which is fixed in the country's Constitution."

    "Such a situation is not available. There is a clash between the
    opposition and the government indeed - but is any other country devoid
    of it? The question is whether conflicts take a civilized shape. And
    since the performance of the parliament and the government is quite
    productive - the budget is being executed, debts haven't grown and
    the country is reporting a steady economic growth this means that the
    opposition may or may not return to the parliament, yet life will go
    on," Kocharyan stated.

    Commenting on opposition rallies, the president labelled them as
    "Brazilian series". "They are so much alike that the events could
    well be canned," he said.

    The opposition has been staging unauthorised protests gathering
    thousands of people in Yerevan to demand that the Armenian president
    resign since April 9.
