A GOOD REASON TO CLOSE THE ROADS

On May 31, on the day of the Yerevan Mayor Election, columns
of mini-buses were coming to Yerevan from the regions of
Armenia. According to Heghine Bisharyan, those were supporters of the
political forces, who were coming to support their favorite forces
and the opposition assures that those people were being taken to
Yerevan to vote for the people who are absent from Yerevan.

Today, on June 1, the opposition is going to hold a rally near
Matenadaran. Perhaps, we may be sure that today the roads from Yerevan
to the regions will surely be closed and one will only be able to go
to the regions but not vice versa.

The governmental reason for it will be the fact that as the day
before, a great number of supporters of the political forces, in
particular supporters of the OYP, came to Yerevan, it created a strict
lack of habitants in the region, which is question of the national
security. Consequently, unless the supporters, who came to Yerevan,
go back to the regions, transportation from Yerevan to the regions
will be forbidden.

In addition, the government may take advantage of this circumstance
for all the rallies of the opposition within the forthcoming several
months. The point is that they may always state that the great part of
the supporters of the political forces, who came to Yerevan on May 31,
is still in Yerevan.
