PanARMENIAN.Net - The ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) spokesman urged to forget once and for all about a possibility of political clashes in Armenia.

“No one has a right to incite people to riot, especially with authorities willing will to initiate democratic reforms,” Eduard Sharmazanov told a news conference in Yerevan.

RPA spokesman further commented on the statement of Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc leader Levon Ter-Petrossian at September 23 rally.

“Ter-Petrossian spoke a lot about Wikileaks revelations, yet never got to those mentioning his person,” he said.

Dwelling on RPA party cards, shown by Armenian National Movement (ANM) board chairman Aram Manukyan at the rally, Sharmazanov stressed that affiliation with RPA is a matter of choice; yet, he said, “no mass withdrawal from RPA was reported lately.”

In conclusion, Sharmazanov listed Alexander Arzumanyan, Khachatur Kokobelyan and Ararat Zurabyan among those who left ANM ranks.
