PanARMENIAN.Net – Police must put an end to non-stop unsanctioned
rallies of Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc, according
to ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group leader.

As news conference in Yerevan, Galust Sahakyan characterized the
recent 24/7 rallies as a violation of law, however, “the police are
abiding with ANC protest action to avoid tensions”.

The politician referred journalists to Armenia’s Law on Police for
description of the police authority in above-mentioned cases.

The MP did not exclude the possibility of repetition of March 1,
2008 events in case the rally was dispersed. “It’s really up to ANC
leader Levon Ter-Petrosian,” he said.

During the September 30 rally, Ter-Petrossian announced 7-day-long
round-the-clock protest actions, with ANC supporters putting up tents
at Liberty Square.
