DIFFERENT ARMENIAN COMMUNIST PARTIES CELEBRATE SOVIETIZATION OF ARMENIA

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 29. ARMINFO.”Every Armenian family has been
celebrating November 29 for 70 years now as one of its favorite
holidays – the day of sovietization of Armenia. Only those nations
take lessons from their history which respect it,” the leader of
United Communist party Yuri Manukian told a press-conference today.

In his words, Armenia will inevitable return to socialist way of
development. “The communist ideology will by no means be defeated. We
are witnessing only temporary retreat from socialism. Armenian nation
can not live for a long time under such an extreme division of society
into poor and rich,” he said. Manukian expressed concern over the
splitting of communist movement in the country. “We put flowers in
front of the monument to Stepan Shaumian and Alexander Miasnikian
today and there were two other bunches already. However, this did not
make me happy because the supporters of high ideals have not become
stronger with that,” Yuri Manukian said.

Yesterday, the activists of Yerevan city committee of Communist party
of Armenia celebrated 84th anniversary of sovietization in the
republic already yesterday from the ranks of which Yuri Manukian was
expelled in 2001. -A-
