/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian President Robert Kocharian described today
as "provocative" Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s statements on the intention
to carry out a rally right after the state of emergency is lifted.

Talking to reporters, the President stated that "the right thing to
do is to refrain from rallies, rest a little and decrease polarity
within the society."

"Imagine, if we permit to hold rallies and the people, who participated
in the riots and clashes with the police and law enforcers, assemble
again. I can’t imagine what their "intercourse" will look like. One
should be a provoker to repeat the same steps. Maybe, some people
will be glad to watch new collisions and new victims and therefore to
publish articles in foreign newspapers. But the authorities will not
let it happen on the grounds of article 40 of the RA Constitution. I
call on the citizens to refrain from participation in rallies and
remain aside from provocative statements", the President said,
