YEREVAN, MARCH 22, NOYAN TAPAN. Bargavach Hayastan Party is neither
pro-governmental nor opposition: it is a party, which loves its
country. Vardan Bostanjian, member of Bargavach Hayastan Board,
YSU professor, former NA deputy, stated this at the March 22 press
conference. In V. Bostanjian’s words, he does not know that Bargavach
Hayastan was created as a political support of Armenian President
Robert Kocharian. In his words, Bargavach Hayastan also treats with
love the Republican Party of Armenia and considers it not its rival
but its competitor. In V. Bostanjian’s words, it is difficult not to
love the political force, which ruled the country for a long time,
which implemented programs and solved problems. At the same time,
in his words, Bargavach Hayastan is full of resolution "to do all
this better." In V. Bostanjian’s words, Viktor Dallakian’s not being
in Bargavach Hayastan is conditioned by the circumstance that he has
not expressed such willingness. Touching upon the circumstance that he
has created many bills jointly with Dallakian, Bostanjian said that
they "have been an ideal pair" and it is difficult to imagine that
such people "will stop loving each other." As V. Bostanjian affirmed,
though persons included in Bargavach Hayastan’s proportional list have
no respective experience, nevertheless, the legislative work will not
suffer from their appearing in the parliament. "It is important that
people should have the respective level and in the respect of such
people Bargavach Hayastan’s list differs from other parties’ lists,"
he mentioned. In Bostanjian’s words, the goal of Bargavach Hayastan’s
Chairman Gagik Tsarukian is to make the country prosperous and "a
person having his abilities is capable of winning over to his side
such people who will contribute to fulfilment of that goal." Bargavach
Hayastan’s Board member refuted information on party’s collecting
passports mentioning that the party has not used any violence or
inadmissible means for winning over people to its side. In his words,
Bargavach Hayastan is a "proud" party and does not want to receive
"artificial" votes. Asked what is his party proud of, he said: "It is
proud of its proportional list." V. Bostanjian considers posters with
the image of the leader of Bargavach Hayastan and posters of other
kind not agitation, but preparation for agitation. In response to the
question whether the posters will become larger during the agitation
campaign, he said that the country has many problems and the poster’s
size is not the most important issue. Calling journalists for treating
with love all Armenians and one another, professor Bostanjian stated
that during agitation of parliamentary elections Bargavach Hayastan
will also carry out agitation of love.
