It is incorrect to hold inauguration of President of Armenia on the
fortieth day of mourning of the victims of tragic events in Yerevan,
said Georgy Vanyan, famous Armenian human rights activist and chairman
of the Caucasus Peacekeeping Initiatives Center.

"Inauguration on the fortieth mourning day of the victims of tragic
events, could have been held in the framework of a special session of
the National Assembly of Armenia, in the atmosphere which would not
humiliate the feelings of people, grieving over the victims. However,
the planned ceremonial arrangement, to be partially held at the
Square of Freedom, the site of dispersal of peaceful demonstration,
goes beyond the frames of moral and ethical norms", said he.

According to him, absence of political processes and personification
of policy turned the "inauguration-mourning" contraposition into the
next x-period for Armenia.

He said there is great tenseness which may explode anytime.

"There is a fear and distrust", said he and added that in case of
new clashes, Serzh Sarkissyan will be to be blamed for everything as
a guarantor of constitution.
