    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Ex-President Levon Ter-Petrosyan is not under house
    arrest, RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian told a news conference
    in Yerevan.

    "Security of an official is regulated by the Constitution. If safety
    of an official either in commission or retired is jeopardized, he
    is protected by the presidential guard. By this very reason, Levon
    Ter-Petrosyan was driven away from Liberty Square.

    Presently, he is free to leave his apartments but before he should
    renounce the guard supposed by the law. He refused to do that,"
    the Minister said.

    "The only wish of President Robert Kocharian is to transform the
    situation into a political process. The main cause of tensions is
    Ter-Petrosyan's refusal to cooperate. But the authorities do not
    intend to tolerate uncontrolled human mass. Eventually, those who
    gathered to support Ter-Petrosyan are our people who are discontent
    with the outcomes of the election.

    But, there political tools which should be used," Vartan Oskanian said.

    "Unwillingly, Robert Kocharian has to impose the emergency rule to
    secure order in the republic and its capital city," the Minister
    resumed.
