YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 28, NOYAN TAPAN. The participants of the termless
action being held in Liberty Square the day before revealed two
employees of the National Security Service, whom they presented as
"instigators" and set them free later.

In connection with the incident the Press Center of the RA National
Security Service on February 28 made a statement, which, in particular,
read:

"It is thanks to the efforts of the representatives of the National
Security Service that a great number of arms and ammunitions, toxic and
explosive substances were confiscated from the participants of illegal
rallies disposed extremistically in the recent days, in connection with
which the Investigative Department of the National Security Service
has instituted a criminal case on the signs of Article 300, RA Criminal
Code. It is evidence that the RA National Security Service acts only in
favor of the people, with providing security of rally participants. We
once more assure that the National Security Service together with the
Police will continue performing their duties laid on them by the law
and warns some "hot heads" that any attempt of hindering service will
lead to the strictest responsibility envisaged by the law."
