Opposition: authorities provoke reproduction Egyptian events in Armenia

Coordinator of opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) Levon Zurabyan said that Armenian authorities force a social protest in the country to go beyond the norms of Constitution and laws.

“Unfortunately, there is such a danger. We will do our utmost so that the social-political reforms in Armenia proceed gradually without social disruption,” Zurabyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

Commenting on recent events in Tunisia and Egypt, which were labeled by many experts as “Twitter revolutions,” Zurabyan disagreed with the opinion that the activity of people in social networks and the assistance provided by Twitter and Facebook companies to opposition representatives were externally planned actions.

According to him, the overthrow of a completely pro-western regime of Hosni Mubarak was not within the scope of interests of the U.S., Europe or Israel.
