The members of the CP Committee of Yerevan gave a press conference
July 13 to answer the statements of their former fellow members of
the Communist Party on Armenian channels. The CP Committee of Yerevan
even made a special statement on this occasion.

"Khoren Sargsyan, Sanatruk Sahakyan and several others, who have
recently been dismissed from the party, introduce themselves as
communists on TV channels, especially on Kentron and Shant. We
know who orders these speeches. And there is no need to call fake
communists those people who were dismissed from the CP," runs the
statement of the CP, signed by the first secretary of the Yerevan
Committee Tachat Sargsyan. He says they do not have a purpose and
the right to criticize or direct the mass media.

"However, we are surprised and worried by the fact why a person
dismissed from the Communist Party appears on TV for several times, and
are referred to as "communists". Everyone knows that Khoren Sargsyan
was dismissed on the decision of the Plenum of the Central Committee
of the Communist Party. Sanatruk Sahakyan is not a communist, he was
dismissed on the decision of the Plenum of the CP Central Committee,
but they keep referring to them as Communist this and Communist that,"
says Tachat Sargsyan. According to him, these people deviated from
the ideas of communism, especially that they announce on TV that they
have nothing to do with Marxism and Leninism.

The communists emphasize in their statement that they know who ordered
the TV speeches of their former fellow communists, nevertheless
the first secretary of the Yerevan Committee of the CP declines to
specify the names of these people, adding that it may not have been
a definite order but what happened fits in the logic of order.
