I HAVE ENOUGH POLITICAL WILL TO CUT SHORT ATTEMPTS TO DESTABILIZE SITUATION IN COUNTRY, ARMENIAN LEADER SAID
I have enough political will to cut short opposition attempts to destabilize the situation in Armenia, Armenian President Robert Kocharian said in an interview with "Golos Armenii" newspaper. In his words, there are manifestations in the opposition actions that just run counter to the Criminal Code. "As soon as in these concrete cases the authorities try to apply the law to the opposition, I am sure, speculations that opposition is being oppressed will begin. At the same time "one matter is speaking, another one is concrete actions that can influence the stability in the country or hamper our plans of economic development of the republic. Such attempts will be cut short," the President of Armenia said.
