Armenian President Robert Kocharian has announced plans to relax the
state of emergency in Yerevan.

"I will sign a decree on Wednesday evening or tomorrow morning changing
the attitude to the state of emergency. The current state of emergency
says what we can do, the new decree will show what must not be done,"
Kocharian told the press on Wednesday.

These restrictions will be rather narrow and have to do only with
provocative actions and the spreading of false information, he said.

Kocharian also assured the press that the mass media would be allowed
to express opinions and assess events more freely.

The Armenian mass media only relay official information these days.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
