International organizations' demand to lift emergency rule clumsy

PanARMENIAN.Net - International organizations' demands to lift the emergency rule are clumsy, Armenian President's spokesman Victor Soghomonyan told a news conference in Yerevan.



"European officials should pay attention to some obvious things. First, unauthorized rally has been going on for 10 days and despite numerous calls to overthrow, no attempt to disperse the crowd has been made. Second, Levon Ter-Petrosyan's supporters provoked disorders at the French Embassy, what was completely neglected by the international observers. Third, before imposition of emergency rule, police did not use weapons to disperse the demonstrators," he said, adding, "People calling to lift the state of emergency seem to be absolutely unaware of the situation."



"I would also like to mention that majority of foreign media publications are pure lies," he resumed.
