    YEREVAN MAYOR SAYS NO ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL RALLIES COULD BE SANCTIONED


    YEREVAN, APRIL 1, ARMENPRESS: Yerevan mayor Yervand Zakarian
    joined today a cohort of government representatives to denounce the
    opposition's plans to stage mass protest rallies to push for
    president Kocharian's resignation, saying the municipality is
    concerned over radical announcements, which he said would destabilize
    the situation.
    Speaking to a news conference, Zakarian said "the revolutionary
    calls of the opposition are serious impediments to the municipality's
    plans to go on with a number of major projects aimed to improve the
    overall conditions of the city."
    Zakarian argued that mass street protests may eventually lead to
    disruption of Yerevan's economy. "Yerevan municipality cannot remain
    indifferent to the aftereffects of such actions, " he said.
    "The municipality has to ensure conditions for implementation of
    its plans,... Yerevan needs today political stability and normal
    conditions for economy functioning," he said, adding that the
    municipality could not sanction anti-constitutional rallies.
