/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On March 10, 2008, Armenian President Robert
Kocharian signed an edict which lifts limitations on activity of
political parties imposed on March 1 in the framework of state of
emergency, RA President’s spokesman Victor Soghomonyan told a briefing
in Yerevan.
"Sub-items 6 and 7 of paragraph 4 lost validity.
Sub-item 6 supposed suspension of activity of political parties and
other social organisms preventing elimination of conditions that
led to emergency rule imposition. Sub-item 7 supposed deportation
of individuals violating the legal regime on their own account or
at the expense of the state budget on condition of compensation,"
Mr Soghomonyan said.
He said that no violation of state of emergency have been fixed
so far. "Presently, the presidential administration considers the
possibility to lift limitations of media activities," he noted.
The edict on imposition of state of emergency was signed by President
Kocharian on March 1, 2008, owing to ongoing protest actions and
following disorders that claimed lives of 8 people.
