Armenian Government ‘Untroubled=?UTF-8?B?4oCZIA==?=By Post-Election Protests

The Armenian government is not worried about continuing opposition demonstrations against the official results of the February 18 election and has no plans to break up them, the ruling Republican Party (HHK) said on Tuesday.

"In this sense, we have no concerns," Galust Sahakian, an HHK deputy chairman, told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am). He claimed that the government is interested in the existence of a strong opposition.

"There was a drought in the political field and the success of the elections is also conditioned by the fact that a new opposition is taking shape in a vacant field. I think that is good for the state," Sahakian said, referring to Raffi Hovannisian, the main opposition presidential candidate, and his allies.
