Armenian President Robert Kocharian has issued a decree easing
the state of emergency imposed on March 1 after massive rioting
in Yerevan.One of the restrictions that he lifted concerns the
operations of parties and political organizations, another – the
expulsion of people who are not permanent residents of Yerevan at
their own expense and if that is impossible at the expense of state
coffers with subsequent compensation of relevant sums to the budget.
"The Armenian president signed the decree considering that no grave
offenses have been registered in Yerevan since the introduction
of the state of emergency and that the situation remains stable,"
presidential press secretary Viktor Sogomonian said at a last Monday
briefing in Yerevan.
He said that the legal sector of the presidential administration is
working on the justification of the cancellation of one more provision
of the decree on the state of emergency concerning restrictions on
the operations of the mass media.
