    `RALLIES ARE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE'
    [12:56 pm] 02 June, 2007

    On Children's Day, June 1, oppositional forces (Impeachment, New Times
    and Republic) held a rally near Matenadaran. The rally participants
    were again comparatively few.

    `No matter how many people attend our rallies, we shall conduct them
    as we realise their significance,' said Aram Sargsyan, the leader of
    the Republic Party.

    `people inquire when our rallies will finally stop,' said Vahagn
    Khachatryan, the former Mayor of Yerevan and a memeber of the
    Impeachment.

    `The rallies will not stop unless our athuorities realise that the
    power is in the hands of people!'

    He reflected on election frauds, presented some facts and urged the
    Constitutional Court to recognise the parliamnetary election
    invalid. He had a packet of dirty and torn-out ballots from Precinct
    17. The ballots cast in favour of Grisha Virabyan, a candidate from
    Artashat.

    `The ballots were mainly faked by teachers who bring up our future
    generation,' Vahagn Khachatryan said. We must combat against this
    phenomenon.

    Vahagn Khachatryan also presented the sums spent by the parties at the
    pre-election period. The Republican Party spent 79 million AMD and the
    Prosperous Armnenia -129 million AMD instead of the fixed 60
    million. The money was mainly spent in three Armneian towns - Yerevan,
    Gyumri and Vanadzor.

    Aram Karapetyan, the leader of the New Times advised President
    Kocharian and Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan `not to sit with their
    hands crossed' as people will become more active and rally
    participants will increase on the eve of presidential elections.
