ARMENIAN COMMUNIST PARTY TO GO TO NA ELECTIONS ALONE
YEREVAN, AUGUST 24, NOYAN TAPAN. The Communist Party of Armenia will
participate in the 2007 parliamentary elections alone, without making
an alliance with any political party. Ruben Tovmasian, the First
Secretary of the CPA Central Committee stated about it at the August
24 press conference. According to him, the party seriously analyzed
reasons of its fail in the 2003 elections and came to the conclusion
that it must participate in the coming elections exclusively by own
forces. "Those people, thouse groups which were able to tempt the
Communist Party in 2003 to protect them, we have nothing more to do
with those forces," the CPA leader stated. R.Tovmasian stated that the
Communist Party has no hopes connected with any foreign force, whereas
90% of Armenian parties sets hopes on implementing in Armenia one of
variants of the colored revolutions worked out in the U.S. According
to R.Tovmasian, "the U.S. and Council of Europe have always cheated
and today cheat the Armenian people."
Answering the question concerning stopping examination on Armenian
student Vigen Abrahamiants’ murder in Moscow, on April 22 of the
current year, the speaker mentioned that he condemns any crimes,
including ones committed on the basis of chauvinism. But, at the
same time, one may not ascribe displays of chauvinism, in general,
to the Russian people. In his words, during those recent 15 years,
a new, Fascism youth organization grew in Russia, and the reason
is that "in our days states are not engaged in issues of bringing
up of the youth." Touching upon the competition on the new RA hymn,
R.Tovmasian stated that the CPA and he himself supports the variant
of the hymn with Aram Khachatrian’s music, but not protest against
changing Sarmen’s words.
