YEREVAN, MAY 15, NOYAN TAPAN. No one has left either the youth wing
or the women’s board of the Nor Zhamanakner (New Times) Party. Party
Vice-Chairman Alexan Minasian made such a statement at the May
15 press conference refuting the statement by head of party’s
Malatia-Sebastia branch Arsen Amirkhanian who has left the party
recently and declared that the Nor Zhamanakner Party is breaking
down. According to A.Minasian, besides the above-mentioned person,
there are more than 10 “agents in their party and they gradually
get rid of these agents”. According to him, by introducing agents
the authorities try to intimidate the party that was the first
one to speak about carrying out a revolution. Alexan Minasian also
informed that the Nor Zhamanakner Party is going to organize a rally
dedicated to the problems of the Armenians of Javakhk on May 30 in
Aznavour Square. According to his information, it is possible that
the Armenians can leave Javakhk as 10 thousand Meskhetians are to be
settled there. According to A.Minasian, the Nor Zhamanakner Party is
not going to conclude an alliance with any party at the forthcoming
elections. As for the possible cooperation with the Orinats Yerkir
(Country of Law) Party, according to him, the time will show whether
this will take place or not.
