    The Police of the Republic of Armenia issued a statement, which says,
    in part:

    "The crowd gathered around the City Hall of Yerevan from the midday
    of March 1st was gradually becoming uncontrollable, and by the evening
    their actions turned into robbery.

    For several hours, groups of bandit groups were periodically separating
    from the crowd to inflame more than 20 private and police cars, even
    ambulance cars, broke buses and trolleybuses. The Moscow House, was
    destroyed and robbed, the surrounding shops and offices, the windows of
    the City Hall and the administrative building of VivaCell were broken.

    Drunken gangs of robbers attacked the police troops and
    policemen. Thirty three employees of the Police were taken to hospital.

    The disorders continued, and only after the President signed a decree
    on declaring a state of emergency the bandits yielded under the
    pressure of coordinated activities of RA Police, the National Security
    Service and the Army. They stopped the mass disorders and left.

    Investigation is underway to reveal the identity of the organizers
    and the participants, to find them and call to responsibility.

    RA Police call on the citizens of Armenia to demonstrate vigilance and
    restraint, obey to the requirements of the state of emergency, support
    the law-enforcement bodies to eliminate the results of the disorders"
