In absence of a list of determinated requisites (i.e. critics to the actions of law enforcement bodies, appeals to revolt etc.) "political propaganda" is a definition open to very arbitrary interpretations. It is serious indeed. I guess the original may be this http://www.president.am/president/arm/?task=16 but I cannot read armenian.

Two very different translations. Anyone know if there's an official translation somewhere or where the original is? Anyway, I suppose the point is that there's enough in the declaration to get anyone they want wherever and whenever they need. I mean, how to you define "political propaganda" especially when the term here is used to refer to any information rather than specifically partisan publicity. And how do you determine if something is a) political or b) partisan propaganda anyway? An information blackout will soon be upon us, I fear. Most media outlets are already operating under the new regulations or have been cut off. That leaves blogs and I suppose turning attention to them is only a matter of days. It's not quite martial law, but this state of emergency is also something quite serious. Let's see. Great. Two very different translations. Anyone know if there’s an official translation somewhere or where the original is?

The translation of Armenpress is puzzling as well: "Deporting people not living in the capital who violate the legal regime of emergency situation on their own means or in case of not having means by the state budget in condition of compensation". It seems to refer to not-residents of Yerevan, Armenian citizens or not. I don’t know what the original version states.
