8 DEAD IN YEREVAN NIGHT RIOT
- According to the RA Public Health, 8 people were killed in yesterday's night melee in Yerevan. 33 policemen (11 with fragmentation wounds, 13 with bodily injuries, 8 poisoned with gas and 1 unconscious) were taken to hospital. On March 1, some protesters, cutting off the crowd, set fire to 20 cars, destroyed trolleybuses and buses. The House of Moscow, supermarkets and offices, smashed windows of VivaCell head premises. Groups of drunken people assaulted law enforcers. The Police are after those privy to incitement of mass disorders. The Police call for restraint and obedience to the emergency rule and help the law enforcers to clear away the consequences of the disorders. Yesterday morning the police dispersed the opposition rally held in support of Armenia's first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan. In the afternoon the demonstrators took the streets toward the French Embassy basing near the Yerevan mayor's office. The protest action resulted in clashes with police. Numerous shops were looted. On March 1 evening President Robert Kocharian declared state of emergency for 20 days.

I do not accept what you have written here. You just do not understand what your nation needs.They are sick and tired of everything that goes on in our country. As I see you are watching TV as many of our people. There were special groups making all the crime,our people were partially conected with it,perhaps not. I know a guy who went there, after the forces had frightened the people, and stole lotes of goods. The police cought him and I am happy for it. I myself was at the squaire of Alexandr Miasnikyan and saw lots of provocators there crying,"People let us go and distroy everything, let us kill everybody who will stand on our way." And of course none of us paid attention on that fool! This much. Thuogh I can tell you much more...

They were doped into doing this Mihran. This behaviour is not specific to our people. They were fed and doped by LTP. When one is doped they have no sense of responsibility or respect for self and others. It was a tragedy waiting to happen. This was all orchestrated by Levon Ter Petrossyan, a traitor.- MIHRAN

What were you hoping to get from LTPetros. Did you really believe he was your saviour. I'm sorry for all the false hope he instilled in you and many more young students. It is a shame to see young people being led by the blind. In English there's a saying "The blind leading the blind". Perhaps you were following him blindly hoping, he was taking you in the right direction. False dreams young lady. Let's hope this is all a good lesson for you and all the young people in our country.- Karina

Mr. LTP brought himself down from president LTP to expelled president LTP then street crowd leader LTP... We are an emotional nation. It's easy to flare up emotions and drive poor people on the streets and have them injured or killed, and that's EXACTLY what he's doing. He must be accounted for this in a military court. The election is over. No matter who won. The rest is Anarchy. The government NOW KNOWS VERY WELL WHAT THE PEOPLE NEEDS. They are not the enemy of our people. Give them time. In his years ago speech LTP said. "Demostration is acceptable but breaking windows, crushing property or harming trees "CHI KARELI...." and look what's he's doing now...

I UNDERSDTAND THAT LTB WANTED TO GRAB POWER AT ANY COST.I NEVER WATCHED TV.I ONLY READ THE ARMENIAN NEWSPAPERS FROM ARMENIA ALL ALONG THE ELLECTTORAL CAMPAIGNE .
LTB ABUSED HIS FOLLOWERS. DEMOCRACY IS ABOUT STRAIGHT FRWD ANALYSIS ABOUT THE FAILURES OF THE INCUMBANT GOVERNMENT AND NOT AN ARENA TO SWEAR/INSULT/NAME CALL.THTA ASPECT IS TOTALLY DISTRUCTIV.
I AM MUCH MORE SURPRISED TO READ IN THE ARMENIAN VERSION OF OUR NEWS PAPERS , THE AMMOUNT OF UNDECSENT WORDS DISGUST/HATE AND FOWL WORDS THIS MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT WE ARE TO LEARN MUCH MORE ABOUT BEING POLITE TO EACH OTHER . THANKFULLY YOUR COMMENTS ARE CLEAN OF THAT KIND OF GARBAGE AND YOUR USING A DESCENT AND CIVILISED LANGUAGE IN FORM OF AND TWO WAY COMMUNICATION I APPRECIATE THAT FACTOR.
