ONLY PROCEEDING FROM ECONOMIC INTERESTS WE SHOULD NOT AGREE TO OPENING OF ARMENIAN-TURKISH BORDER, RAPA CHAIRMAN CONSIDERS

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 5, NOYAN TAPAN. The majority of Armenian political
forces perceives the coming parliamentary elections as a matter of
life and death forgetting that life will not end on May 12. Haroutiun
Arakelian, Chairman of Ramkavar-Azatakan Party of Armenia (RAPA),
declared this at the 14th special deputy meeting of the party held
on February 5. He stated that instead of presenting serious economic
proposals and programs many people are engaged in using black political
technologies.
H.Arakelian said that RAPA has worked out a program, "the basis
of which is centralization of the mental potential of Armenians
throughout the world." As he affirmed, thanks to powerful mental
energy the Armenian nation will achieve much success.
Touching upon the issue of Hay Dat mentioned in the resolution of the
deputy meeting, the party chairman stated that "we must not ignore
the memory of Armenian Genocide victims" and not agree to opening of
Armenian-Turkish border only proceeding from economic interests. In
H.Arakelian’s words, any large-scale crime committed towards the
mankind consists of three stages. The first stage is preparation
with use of government’s levers, the second is implementation and the
third is slurring over the crime traces. H.Arakelian emphasized that
the current Turkish government "implements the third stage completely."
Touching upon Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, he said that RAPA is
the only party, which qualifies the mass slaughter and deportation
of Armenians in 1988 in Sumgayit, Baku, Kirovabad and other towns
as a genocide. But today, as RAPA chairman stated, Armenia loses the
propaganda war on Nagorno Karabakh problem. "The solution of Nagorno
Karabakh problem will accelerate if Artsakh is also involved in the
negotiations," H.Arakelian said.
