RA President reversed some items of emergency rule decree

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.



He said that no violation of state of emergency have been fixed so far. "Presently, the presidential administration considers the possibility to lift limitations of media activities," he noted.



The edict on imposition of state of emergency was signed by President Kocharian on March 1, 2008, owing to ongoing protest actions and following disorders that claimed lives of 8 people.
