YEREVAN, APRIL 17, NOYAN TAPAN. "The historic moment of implementing
political change of generations in Armenia has come. A political
figure looks like a football player and a political figure should
feel the moment of leaving like a football player feels the moment
of his leaving the field." David Hakobian, Chairman of Marxist Party
of Armenia, candidate for deputacy registered by majoritarian system
at electoral district N 41, stated at the April 17 press conference.
He said that the majority of people have struck a passive pose and
show great indifference, and the regions are in extremely grave
socio-economic condition. Under such conditions, in D. Hakobian’s
words, "power shift" in the parliament is a necessity, as the
parliamentary power is the prelude of presidential power. In his words,
"the new leder should be born among the people and not among Karabakh
vikings. People’s eye is God’s eye, and the person whom the people
will see will be the leader of the country," D. Hakobian said.
He said that 15 years running pseudo-democrats implemented power
shift not through the vote, but through "Bonapartism, political
ventures." D. Hakobian especially emphasized that Serge Sargsian has
missed the historic moment of being the first figure of the country
and gave assurance that "the power shift will be from below."
D. Hakobian also said that "country’s authorities, from Armenian
National Movement up to now, from Levon of Aleppo to Robin Hood,
have the same national and economic ideology and today’s Karabakh
vikings are the transformed form of Armenian National Movement."
In connection with his joint visit to Tavush with National Unity
Party Chairman Artashes Geghamian David Hakobian said that he
highly estimates Geghamian as a political figure and attaches great
importance to having a companion-in-arms today. He also stated that
in case of being elected as an MP he will be involved in the National
Unity faction.
