State of Emergency?

The Armenian Observer reports on two rallies staged today by the prime minister and president-elect, Serge Sargsyan, and former president, Levon Ter-Petrossian. The blog also speculates on word that the outgoing president, Robert Kocharian, will speak on TV. Observers says some in civil society circles are wondering if he will declare a state of emergency. Let’s hope such speculation isn’t true. We should know soon enough.

This evening president Kocharyan is scheduled to speak on Armenian TV. I expect him to declare a state of emergency, call in the army, perhaps institute curfew and start mass arrests.
