VAZGEN MANUKIAN’S MEETINGS
KAPAN, MARCH 23, NOYAN TAPAN. "The Syunik Governor, first as a man,
then as an official, did not preserve a right for him to instruct head
any of the institutions of the marz to fail NA deputy Vazgen
Manukian’s meetings," is said in the Syunik Governor Surik
Khachatrian’s statement submitted to Noyan Tapan. "The marz of Syunik
has always been open and will be open for all meetings, all figures
and guests. If a territorial structure of any organization or party is
not able to properly organize meetings of its head, one must not
accuse of it the local authorities," is said in S. Khachatrian’s
statement.
To recap, Vazgen Manukian, the Chairman of the National Democratic
Union, NA deputy stated at the press conference after his March 17-18
meeting paid to the marz of Syunik that he was not given place at
Kapan hotels, no territory was given for the meeting with the
population. But, as the Noyan Tapan correspondent was informed from
the hotels, there was no preliminary agreement with any of them and
the rooms were occupied in hotels, connected with the RA President’s
visit. And Lianna Hakobian, the Director of the Kapan Art College
stated that an announcement was made by the local SOSI TV company,
without defining with her. As Mrs. Hakobian informed the Noyan Tapan
correspondent, she found the organizer and said that on those days,
March 17-19, a festival was organized and expressed perplexity on the
issue why the announcement was made without defining.
As a result, Vazgen Manukian’s meeting took place at the Kapan
territorial organization office of the "Dashink" (Alliance) party.
