ARMENIAN PRESIDENT WARNS OPPOSITION NOT TO DISRUPT PARLIAMENT...
Robert Kocharian warned on 18 June that opposition parliament
deputies risk arrest if they again seek to disrupt parliament
proceedings, RFE/RL's Yerevan bureau reported. The opposition
occupied the parliament podium on 10-12 June and prevented debate in
protest of parliament speaker Armen Khachatrian's refusal to include
in the agenda the question of Kocharian's impeachment (see "RFE/RL
Newsline," 11, 12, and 13 June 2002). Kocharian said he refrained on
that occasion from sending police into the parliament to restore
order only at the request of Khachatrian and Prime Minister Andranik
Markarian. Meanwhile, Defense Minister Serzh Sarkisian has denied
either that he secretly encouraged the opposition to press for
Kocharian's impeachment or that he has any differences with the
president. LF
