YEREVAN, DECEMBER 14, NOYAN TAPAN. The ARF can not endanger inner
stability and security of the country in conditions of the legally
unsolved Karabakh conflict. Just for that reason, as RA National
Assembly Deputy Speaker Vahan Hovhannisian mentioned at the December
13 meeting with students of higher educational institutions, having
disagreements with the authorities in some issues, Dashnaktsutyun
makes a part of the authorities today. Touching upon the National
Security conception, V.Hovhannisian said that it is a step on the way
of getting consensus concerning the country fate among the political
forces. He positively estimates the document being discussed in
the academic sense. But in V.Hovhannisian’s words, the way of
implementing the conception does not exist in the document. The
NA Deputy Speaker proposes to fill this ommission, founding an
institutional national security council. Defining the place and role
of the parliamentary forces in the political life, V.Hovhannisian
mentioned that right-left separation does not function in Armenia in
its classic sense. Dashnaktsutiun, being a socialist left-side party,
is often for adoption of liberal laws. In V.Hovhannisian’s words,
they are led by that consciousness that in a poor country socialism
can bring to Bolshevism. That’s why they consider necessary first
to enrich the country, to make it attractive for investments, then
to implement socialist programs. And right parties, arising of the
present conditions of the country, often vote for laws having social
orientation. V.Hovhannisian also expressed confidence that it is a
wastefulness for a small country like Armenia to have 131 deputies.
