YEREVAN, MAY 10, NOYAN TAPAN. "The authorities can do nothing except
violence." Ararat Zurabian, Board Chairman of Armenian National
Movement Party, commented this way at the May 10 press conference upon
the fact of conflict between participants of opposition rally and
policemen the day before. In his words, today’s political situation
can be hardly changed through elections, as the authorities go to
electoral falsifications by usual methods making the preelection
process a show. At the same time, A. Zurabian gave assurance that
if the opposition is resolute, "the political process can hardly be
controllable for the authorities."

He considered ungrounded the accusations addressed by the authorities
to Armenian National Movement years running. In this connection
A. Zurabian said: "For instance, RPA has never sat at a dispute table
with us: we know how much they are able to do this."

Touching upon ANM’s refusing to take part in elections, A. Zurabian
said that one should not be in the National Assembly by all means for
taking an active part in political processes. At the same time, he gave
assurance that "ANM’s electorate will vote for its co-thinker parties."
