YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 7, NOYAN TAPAN. Large-scale appropriations were done
in Armenia under the guise of privatization. Orinats Yerkir (Country
of Law) Party Chairman Artur Baghdasarian made such a statement at the
February 7 press conference. "If there is a person who can prove that
to sell 1 sq.m. territory for 3-5 dollars is right while its real value
is 100 times higher than this price, I will dispute with this person,"
A.Baghdasarian said. He refuted the rumors in press, according to which
when making part of ruling coalition OYP privatized territories. As
A.Baghdasarian assured, these rumors emerged as a result of black PR
carried out towards the party and do not correspond to reality. In
response to the question, what is OYP’s position to the violence used
towards rally participants early in the morning of April 13 2004
and to the circumstance that Baghramian Avenue, as the journalist
characterized, "had turned into barracks," A.Baghdasarian said:
"National Assembly Chairman is not the guard of the National Assembly."
