YEREVAN, MAY 10, NOYAN TAPAN. "Freedom finishes where law starts and
maintenance of public order is the task of any country’s power." Edvard
Sharmazanov, Spokesperson of Republican Party of Armenia, stated
at the May 10 press conference touching upon the conflict between
participants of rally organized by the opposition the day before and
law enforcement bodies. In his words, freedom should not be mixed up
with disorder. "Any violation of human rights is blameworthy for us,
but on the other hand, we should respect public order and country’s
laws," E. Sharmazanov said.

In his words, if there have been cases of violation of right of
freedom of expression and other freedoms during the conflict, those
who suffered should apply to the court.
