Armenian opposition stages acts of disobedience
YEREVAN, April 5
– The Armenian opposition has declared that it is launching mass acts
of disobedience with the aim to topple the Armenian president,
opposition leaders Artashes Gegamyan and Stepan Demirchyan declared
on Monday.
The aim of the mass acts of disobedience is to topple Armenian
President Robert Kocharyan, the opposition declared in a statement
circulated on Monday.
A rally has been scheduled in Yerevan for Friday that will call to
overthrow “the illegitimate regime and restore constitutional law and
order” in Armenia.
The opposition claims that the presidential and parliamentary
elections held in Armenia last year were falsified, and insists on a
referendum on confidence in the authorities as was recommended by the
Armenian Constitutional court.
