CONFLICT INSIDE ARMENIAN OPPOSITION GROWING
Yerevan, May 25. ArmInfo. The secretary of the opposition People’s
Party MP Grigor Haroutyunyan accuses the leader of the opposition
National Unity party Artashes Gegamyan of distorting historical facts.
Haroutyunyan was surprised to hear Gegamyan saying during his
Wednesday TV debates with the leader of the Orinats Yerkir party Artur
Bagdassaryan that during the Sept 2005 elections of Yerevan Center
community prefect his party supported Gagik Beglaryan as in Sept
Gegamyan publicly said that he was going to support the opposition
candidate from Justice bloc Ruzan Khachatryan.
Besides, Haroutyunyan refutes Gegamyan’s statement that the former
speaker of the Armenian parliament karen Demirthyan, killed in Oct 27
