Tsarukian=?UTF-8?B?4oCZ?=s Party Defends Post-Election Protests

The Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) of Gagik Tsarukian appeared to justify post-election opposition demonstrations in the country on Monday, warning the authorities against using force against their participants.

In its first official reaction to the conduct of the February 18 presidential election, the BHK said the ongoing street protests reflect "public distrust" in electoral processes and widespread discontent with "injustice" and other government abuses.

"The BHK has been and will always be with the people," the party, the second largest in parliament, said in a statement. "The BHK believes that it is the absolute right of every citizen of Armenia to demand respect for their rights, including the electoral right."
