ArmInfo. "We are not afraid of force actions, but we don’t want to
conflict with the organizers of the event in front of Matenadaran",
Levon Zurabyan, a representative of the Central Office of the
oppositional Armenian National Congress, said at Hayatsk club when
commenting upon the decision to change the place of the September 26
rally from the area near Matenadaran to Northern Avenue of Yerevan.

According to L.Zurabyan, the authorities and law-enforcers intend to
organize provocation during the mass protest actions of the opposition
and thereby suppress the wide Nationwide movement headed by the
first president of Armenia Levon Ter- Petrosyan. The aspiration to
provoke disorders during the peaceful procession on September 15 was
reflected in the policemen’s attack on the movement’s young activists,
he said. Furthermore, the authorities brought drunken people to the
place of the rally and instructed them to provoke disorders during
the peaceful procession. "All this makes us pay special attention
to ensuring security of our supporters during the mass activities",
Zurabyan said in conclusion.
