The Communist Party of Armenia made a statement July 13 that they
reject proposals on unification by communists who left the party at
different times. The Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist
Party authorized Tachat Sargsyan, the first secretary of political
committee of the City Committee of Yerevan to make this statement.

"With the election drawing nearer, there is more consideration
about the Communist Party, its activities and the alleged alliance
of communist parties. First of all, the Communist Party has never
been divided, but persons were dismissed from the Communist Party
for different reasons, who violated the bylaws of the political party
and did not obey the decisions of its bureau," says Tachat Sargsyan.
He states that the leadership of the CP decided, "Reject the proposals
offered by separate persons, who were dismissed from the Communist
Party and set up Renewed and Progressive parties, on unification in
accordance with the bylaws of the CP."

Tachat Sargsyan says they were not offered official proposals on
unification of the Communist Party. Tachat Sargsyan says they deny
all kinds of considerations about unification. Generally, however,
the communists accept the idea of unification.

"We consider the idea of unification as positive. After all it is not
accidental that Europe is being united today. Moreover, it unites
with Nazi Germany, which shattered Europe in 1941. It was thanks
to unification that Soviet Armenia was a ruined country and became
one of the prosperous cities. But this proposal on unification made
by our former fellow communists is a subject of another talk," says
Tachat Sargsyan.
