VAZGEN MANOUKYAN WANTS TO GO TO THE NA

`The boycott has exhausted itself, and the right thing to do would be to
return to the NA’, announced Vazgen Manoukyan in the press conference. But
he must still persuade his colleagues in the Justice bloc to act in the NA.

Generally, the leader of the National Democratic Union finds that `The state
is not healthy’, but the people are. According to him, the authorities are
ill, and out of any control.

Mr. Manoukyan has no doubt that the people leading the country to quagmire
must not speak about Constitutional reforms and new ways. He also offers the
Orinats Yerkir party and the Armenian Revolutionary Federation to leave the
coalition and join the opposition. Why them? `The power is centered in the
hands of the members of the Republican Party, and these two parties are
curtains to cover their black deeds’. The leader commented.

VAZGEN MANOUKYAN FOR REBELLION

Vazgen Manoukyan does not intend to participate in the Constitutional
referendum. `Going to the referendum will mean to participate in the game of
the authorities’, he says. He does not advise the society even to say `No’
to the new Constitution. `It would be right to boycott it’.

Saying `No’, according to him, would mean to express an opinion about the
document. Besides, `it is easier to control the boycott that the forgeries’.
And what if the referendum is forged? `In that case we must rebel, we’ve had
enough of this’, he said.
