    Slovak Foreign Minister calls on Armenia to avoid violence

    Yerevan Feb 25 (CTK)


    Slovak Foreign Minister Jan Kubis today said it was necessary to
    avoid violence at all costs in the heated situation after the
    presidential election won by Prime Minister Serzh Sarksyan, the
    French news agency AFP reported.

    The opposition has been organising demonstrations for six days
    against the election's outcome. It says the vote taken on February 19
    was rigged.

    Kubis called on both sides of the conflict to maintain peace.

    Kubis, who arrived in Armenia also as a representative of the Council
    of Europe, advised the government to proceed in a responsible and
    reserved manner.

    "I hope very much that the tension will not escalate," Kubis said
    after meeting his Armenian counterpart Vardan Oskanyan.
