YEREVAN, MARCH 18, NOYAN TAPAN. Today, when the “Ardarutiun” (Justice)
faction, “Azgayin Miabanutiun” (National Unity) party and other
opposing political forces show some pasiveness, it’s time to take
some steps in the direction of calling to life the good initiative of
the Intellectuals’ Forum Councillor to create civil movement. Arshak
Sadoyan, a member of the NA “Ardarutiun” faction, the Chairman of
the “National Democrates’ Alliance” party stated about this at the
March 17 press-conference, mentioning that he himself and his party
are for an organized political, “without a gun” struggle and have a
definite program of proposals. According to the speaker, if there are
forces which may implement a revolution during the coming few months,
the NDA isn’t against it. Otherwise, it is not only inadmissible but
also destructive to reduce activization of the society with “vain
promises.” So the deputy proposes to hold an enlarged gathering of
political forces during the coming 15-20 days and to adopt a statement
on struggle for the country’s future, freedoms.

Convention of a constituent assembly must follow that, where leading
bodies of an over-party movement in the name of civil society in
Armenia will be elected.

According to A.Sadoyan, the mentioned activities’ program was adopted
still in December, 2005, by the joint decision of 17 parties and 8
public organizations. The speaker expressed sorrow that the People’s
Party of Armenia hasn’t yet expressed its position on the occasion of
this program so he proposed to convene a sitting of the “Ardarutiun”
faction on March 24 to discuss the future actions. The deputy is
also sure that it’s necessary to actively involve the society as
well in the joint struggle to make electoral processes in Armenia as
just as possible. The Electoral Code to be reviewed soon may assist
it greatly. According to Sadoyan, one must reach the one that the
political majority accepts his proposal to hold a parallel electronic
vote, and the proposal of the “National Unity” concerning shooting
the whole electoral process in the polling stations. According to the
deputy’s accountings, this won’t arise great financial problems. This
concerns both publishing abroad special voting papers envisaged for
electronic vote and buying special equipment and video cameras for the
above-mentioned votion. He expects “assistance of democratic forces
of the world, international structures” as the latters officially
stated many times about assisting establishment of democracy in
developing countries.
