PanARMENIAN.Net - On March 10, 2008, Armenian President Robert Kocharian signed an edict which lifts limitations on activity of political parties imposed on March 1 in the framework of state of emergency, RA President's spokesman Victor Soghomonyan told a briefing in Yerevan.



"Sub-items 6 and 7 of paragraph 4 lost validity. Sub-item 6 supposed suspension of activity of political parties and other social organisms preventing elimination of conditions that led to emergency rule imposition. Sub-item 7 supposed deportation of individuals violating the legal regime on their own account or at the expense of the state budget on condition of compensation," Mr Soghomonyan said.
