YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 27, NOYAN TAPAN. Declaring that a civilized rally and a march in memory of the citizens perished on 2008 March 1 will take place on March 1, the Armenian National Congress calls the RA Police for ensuring the above mentioned events' normal and legal process. ANC Coordinator Levon Zurabian reported at the February 27 press conference adding that the Movement Participant Booklet printed on the reverse side of the leaflets spread by the opposition clearly mentions how a demonstrant should behave during the mass action and what he should not do. For instance, as L. Zurabian emphasized, a demonstrant should never contact with a policeman. The ANC representative expressed confidence that their co-thinkers will be guided by those rules, while policemen's behaviour is too condemnable already today. L. Zurabian told that the day before, during the action held parallel with the trial on the "case of the seven," Karen Movsisian, the head of the Kanaker-Zeytun community patrol service, provoked those gathered. L. Zurabian also said that according to their information, on March 1 the Police will close all roads from the regions to Yerevan, and the regional authorities will intimidate the drivers, will stop petrol sale. All that, according to him, is evidence of the authorities' fear. "However, they should not be afraid of the people," L. Zurabian said.
