/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `The Armenian authorities but not
representatives of European structures are responsible
for republic’s stability and security,’ RA President’s
spokesman Victor Soghomonyan told a briefing in
Yerevan.

`EU Envoy for the South Caucasus, Mr Peter Semneby’s
call for soonest lift of the emergency rule is the
wish of the European Union. The state of emergency
will be lifted when order and tranquility are
established in the republic,’ he said, adding that
presently the situation is controlled by the
authorities.

`I am surprised at those international
non-governmental organizations, which assess the
events in Armenia basing on meetings in a café or
phone conversations. Assessments of the kind can
damage the image of these organizations, many of which
do not have event a diplomatic representation in
Armenia,’ Mr Soghomonyan said.
