Yerevan, 26 August: Active participation of people in the national
rally on 5 September will become a deserved rebuff to the authorities’
provocation, Levon Zurabyan, the representative of the Armenian
National Congress central office, told a news conference at the
Hayatsk press club today.

He said that the authorities, having seen that the movement led by the
first president, Levon Ter-Petrosyan, is gaining momentum have decided
to stage provocation against the protest demonstration on North Avenue.

"The regime is doing what it can to involve police in the political
struggle as it can do nothing else. We are analyzing the new situation
and will work out new adequate steps," Zurabyan said.

Asked why the Armenian police have changed the tactics of the past
two months and began acting actively again, Zurabyan said that the
authorities’ hopes that the popular movement would eventually fade
did not come true, and the "regime became nervous".
