VICTOR DALLAKIAN: ALEXAN HAROUTIUNIAN’S INITIATIVE ADDRESSED AGAINST
OPPOSITION AT PRESENT STAGE
YEREVAN, MARCH 24, NOYAN TAPAN. The initiative of Alexan Haroutiunian,
the Chairman of the Public Television and Radio Company Council of
Armenia to take from the NA regulations-law the demand of broadcasting
programs concerning the Parliament is addressed against the opposition
at the present stage. Victor Dallakian, the Secretary of the NA
“Ardaroutiun” faction expressed this opinion at the March 24
briefing. “So, the opposition has a small opportunity to express
itself on live broadcast, they make an attempt to deprive it of that
opporitunity as well at the pre-electoral stage,” Dallakian
mentioned. But, according to him, “the problem is more fundamental.”
In his opinion, the future Parliament must have a clear issue
concerning broadcasting the state official programs on a TV and
radio. This practice is used particularly is Sweden, where separate
programs concerning the activity of the Parliament, Government,
judicial and other state bodies are broadcast on such a channel.
Touching upon the current developments of the inner-political life,
the deputy mentioned that he is sorry for the happened with Artashes
Toumanian, the former head of the RA President’s staff. He respects
A.Toumanian and considers him to be serious, completed
politician. “And from the political viewpoint, I suppose the one that
happened to him to be a political vandalism and retribution. If
Artashes Toumanian had problems with laws, one must touch it upon
within the period of time he was the head of the President’s staff,”
Victor Dallakian emphasized. As for the discussion of the case of
disputing the legality of building processes of the Yerevan center at
the Constitutional Court, in Dallakian’s opinion, this was
dramatized. According to him, an attempt is made to make legal with
the help of the Constitutional Court the actions taken place by
violating the Constitution acted before. Victor Dallakian treats
calmly to former RA Internal Affairs Minister Vano Siradeghian’s
interview expected in the March 25 issue of the “Haykakan Zhamanak”
(Armenian Time) daily, what is in essense former Minister’s
“appearing.”
