YEREVAN, MAY 10, NOYAN TAPAN. The opposition strives for provoking the
authorities to use violence, and the authorities attempt to provoke
the opposition to take wrong steps. Armen Rustamian, a representative
of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Supreme Body of Armenia
interpreted in this way at the May 10 press conference the clash taken
place among the participants of the peaceful march organized on the
previous day by the Impeachment alliance, Hanrapetutiun (Republic)
and Nor Zhamanakner (New Times) parties and the legal bodies. And,
in his words, this situation is very dangerous for the country.
In A. Rustamian’s words, "there are some forces for which it is
not important to have a faction at the National Assembly, but is to
inflame the post-electoral atmosphere as much as it is possible,"
In the ARF Armenia Supreme Body representative’s words, there is
little time till the 2008 president’s elections, and those forces
want to prepare ground for negative estimations of the international
community. In A. Rustamian’s words, the struggle in the innerpolitical
field will be turned on the threshold of the president’s elections
into the "authorities-opposition" antagonism.
