ARMENIAN OPPOSITION SHRUGS OFF PRESIDENT'S WARNING NOT TO DISRUPT
PARLIAMENT. The opposition parliament deputies who last week blocked
the podium to protest the speaker's refusal to initiate a debate on
impeaching President Robert Kocharian dismissed on 19 June
Kocharian's warning of the previous day that he will order police to
intervene if they continue impeding the legislature's work, RFE/RL's
Yerevan bureau reported (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 19 June 2002). Gagik
Tadevosian (Communist Party of Armenia) said Kocharian's statement
"was unworthy of the president of the republic," while Manouk
Gasparian (independent) announced that he will occupy the podium as
soon as the fall session opens on 15 September "and wait and see how
the president will go about removing me." LF
