Armenian President Robert Kocharian dismissed the possibility of a
‘colour revolution’ taking place in Armenia at a speech at Yerevan
State University on April 27. He says campaigning had been peaceful,
and that candidates have refrained from calling for radical steps.
According to Kocharian, only 2 or 3 small parties have attempted to
be more radical.
"It is obvious that currently the population does not accept aggressive
behaviour or calls for a ‘colour revolution.’ This is demonstrated by
a poll according to which only two percent of the whole population
thought about the possibility of a ‘colour revolution’ or a show of
aggression," stressed the Armenian president.
