“YOU ARE WRONG, THINKING THAT AUTHORITIES ARE STRONG: ONCE YOU WILL GET
UP AND SEE THAT THEY DO NOT EXIST ANY MORE,” ALEXAN KARAPETIAN STATES
YEREVAN, AUGUST 15, NOYAN TAPAN. “I state for political slow-witted
persons: we have a clear party line, and it is worked out not in
foreing states and not at international organizations.” Alexan
Karapetian, the Deputy Chairman of the “National Unification” party
made such a statement at the August 13 press-conference. According
to him, main intrapolitical developments of the nearest future will
be connected with the discussion of the project of the constitutional
reforms. A.Karapetian informed that Artashes Geghamian, the leader of
the party prepares a speech containing some details of “traitorous
machinations” of the rulling regime. A. Geghamian is going on
to present those facts at the August 29 session of the National
Assembly. “Waiting for death is worse than death itself, and our
people knows that the day will come when those authorities will go
away, and we’ll help to quicken that day,” A.Karapetian stated. He
expressed a confidence that the authorities will surely go away,
as the situation matures gradually: one day you will get up and see
that they don’t exist any more,” the Deputy Chairman of the “National
Unification” party stated. He also exposed to strong criticism the
position of the Armenian All-National Movement: “You support Robert
Kocharian and Serge Sargsian, and your newspaper “Aravot” spreads
different rumours about Geghamian. But you will not succeed!”
