YEREVAN, APRIL 13, NOYAN TAPAN. Exclusion of tension during the
elections is the most important task of all political forces. Galust
Sahakian, the Chairman of the RPA faction of the RA National Assembly
stated about it at the April 13 parliamentary briefing, taking into
consideration firing of RPA Council member, Gyumri Mayor Vardan
Ghukasian and his companions’ cars as well as explosions in the
"Bargavach Hayastan" (Prosperous Armenia) party offices.

In G. Sahakian’s opinion, all political forces must undertake
responsibility for the mentioned cases. In his words, legal bodies
must reveal the crime, and political forces must make the position
towards such a way of actions the task of their agenda.

In the RPA faction head’s opinion, one must reveal not only the ones
done it, but the reasons as well. Otherwise there is no guarantee
that more serious cases will not happen. It was also mentioned that
the important thing is disclosure of the crime, and it is a second
problem with what political force it is connected.

G. Sahakian agreed that the atmosphere of unpunishment created in
the country is one of the reasons of similar crimes, and the RPA,
as a ruling party, has the part of its guilt. But, those accusations
of the opposition that it is a intent by the authorities, do not
correspond to the reality.
