YEREVAN.- Interrogation of the first and second presidents of Armenia, Levon Ter-Petrosyan and Robert Kocharyan, is not necessary at the current stage, investigators say.

Head of special investigative group Vahagn Harutunyan told journalists concrete individuals, including presidents, may be called in for questioning in the course of investigation into March 1, 2008 events.

Harutunyan noted the issue has not been tackled so far but the presidents will be questioned if needed. Officials can be interrogated on the issues not related to the assumed post, investigators make no racial, gender and political differences, he added.

The Armenian opposition did not recognize official results of the presidential election held on February 19, 2008. Leader of the opposition Levon Ter-Petrosyan organized rallies in the Liberty Square, in the center of Yerevan, which lasted until March 1. Thousands took to the streets demanding that official election results should be canceled. Ten people, including two law enforcers, were killed during March 1, 2008 confrontation on the streets of Armenian capital.
