ORINATS YERKIR APPEALED TO PROCURACY

Lragir, Armenia
Nov 7 2006

Members of parliament Mher Shahgeldyan and Heghineh Bisharyan, Orinats
Yerkir stated November 7 that the political party has turned to the
Office of the Attorney General asking to find out the organizers
of the black PR against the political party. Mher Shahgeldyan says
their statement that the organizers are Serge Sargsyan and Andranik
Margaryan is the political aspect of the problem. "We made a statement,
now let the law enforcers make their statement." For her part, Heghineh
Bisharyan added that if the government is not involved in this plot
against Orinats Yerkir Party, it is amazing that the government is
unaware of what is going on in the country.

The representatives of the Orinats Yerkir Party said they got the
information about Serge Sargsyan and Andranik Margaryan from the
TV companies, which broadcast denigrating reports, and the latter
promised to tell the same to the law enforcement agencies.

The political party first tried to avoid a scandal and settle the
problem quietly, and offered the members of the Republican Party
to stop if they are the organizers, or state that they are not the
organizers. The Republican Party did not reply, meanwhile Andranik
Margaryan and Serge Sargsyan stated that they are not involved in
this campaign against the political party.

The Orinats Yerkir Party did not report separate persons to the
procuracy. The representatives of Orinats Yerkir also said that
they had spoken about the unequal conditions of the pro-government
forces and the opposition before the Referendum on Constitution in
2005 and now they do not wish to appear as the most oppositionist and
chazed force. "We respect and we want to be respected. Our criticism
was realistic. There was a lot of criticizing because the negative
phenomena in the country are very many." "We live in a small country
and everyone knows who has what, uses what, which are the sources,
and where the opportunities arise," stated Heghineh Bisharyan. Mher
Shahgeldyan added that they have never resorted to black PR and will
never do. A news reporter asked to comment on the statement in the
official newspaper of the Orinats Yerkir Party that the international
organizations fear Arthur Baghdasaryan. Mher Shahgeldyan characterized
it as "the reporter’s blunder, which cannot express a standpoint
or approach."
