“At the moment the President of the Republic doesn’t have any intention to prolong the state of emergency,” during his press conference with the journalists yesterday, presidential Press Secretary Victor Soghomonyan said and added with satisfaction that no breaches have been recorded during the state of emergency. The Presidential Press Secretary considered it important to mention over again that the main objective of the state of emergency is to provide security for the people and the country. “We haven’t been against or supported any group, we simply protect democracy from demagogy and manifestations of extremism. And this is evident. When they were fighting terrorism in the USA, they took lots of measures that were against democracy. But the world approached it with understanding, because the security of the people and the country is a primary issue for everyone.” As of Mathew Bryza’s statements Soghomonyan said that he was really surprised to be infirmed about those, which he had made right after he left Armenia. To the question what the government is going to do to eliminate the polarization in the society Soghomonyan said that it would be more expedient to ask that question to the current Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan.
