`Tax avoiders, bribers, corrupt officials centered in ministries and
business monopolies were rounded up in a place,’ stated Member of
Parliament Manuk Gasparyan July 28 at the National Press Club in
connection with the unification of the Republican Party and Serge
Sargsyan. He does not know how to define the situation in the
political sphere of Armenia.
Manuk Gasparyan thinks there are two main reasons for enlargement and
consolidation of the Republican Party. `First, they rounded up in this
half-criminal organization, as they call it, and decided that power
reproduction may be impossible. What do they have to do for
reproduction? They have to round up.
They fear too. Do no think that it was just a call for
consolidation. It was made out of fear,’ says the member of
parliament.
`Second, the call for consolidation was such that if power
changessuddenly in the country, because there are two scenarios, one
is an early election,I do not deny that it may take place this year,
the second is a scheduled election. Reproduction of power is 100
percent impossible in an early election, and in a scheduled election
this consolidation may lead to something, but it is their
scenario. Because people saw during the extraordinary conference who
was sitting there in the hall of the conference, especially in the
upper part,’ Manuk Gasparyan says.
The member of parliament says 80 percent of people enjoying the hatred
of the public were sitting at the chair during the extraordinary
conference of the Republican Party. Earlier he had even presumed that
Serge Sargsyan would be elected president if the opposition were
divided and passive. `ButI immediately realized that it was
impossible, for the mask was torn and it became clear with what team
Serge Sargsyan is going to come to power,’ says Manuk Gasparyan.
He thinks that Serge Sargsyan’s team `marred’ the Republican Party,
`which was partly marred in 1999, and now it stopped being a political
party at all.
‘Manuk Gasparyan has not found a definition for the present
Republican Party.
