ARMENIAN AUTHORITIES REMAIN DEFIANT OVER CE’S DEMANDS
Support A1+!Justice parliamentary fraction MPs say the opposition rally scheduled for Tuesday will be held in Yerevan despite it isn’t authorized by the municipality.
The Justice Secretary Victor Dallakyan said at today’s news conference the municipality, ignoring the CE calls, keeps on denying authorization of opposition peaceful rallies.
Not a single European institution can announce election invalid, he said and quoted the head of the PACE delegation Lord Russell-Johnston as saying Armenian people should decide by themselves whether to recognize election or not.
Republic party leader Aram Sargssyan added that people had already decided not to recognize these rigged elections and the opposition would reach the goal of ousting Robert Kocharyan from office by using its constitutional rights.
He also said he expected no progress in the authorities’ uncompromising stance. It seems the CE demands will remain on paper, he said.
