Gagik Tsarukyan, chairman of "Prosperous Armenia" should have handed
the microphone to Aram Karapetyan, leader of ‘New Times’. Instead,
the Armenian singer Goga got it.

At the sight of ‘ New Times’ party leader, people burst out crying out,
‘ We are here to hear you. We are sick and tired of watching these
naked singers.

We have been cheated for 17 years. Do not be afraid of Tsarukyan!’

Hrazdan City Hall was at day off. Mkhitar Harutyunyan went out of the
office and hurried off the square. He had to explain OSCE observers
that they had arranged a private concert therefore they were to provide
‘ New Times’ representatives with the stage later.

Aram Karapetyan had to take the microphone from Goga and announce
that they would speak out right after children. Aram Karapetyan had to
talk for about 20 minutes without the microphone as the light was gone.

‘As long as Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan are in Armenia, such
things are inevitable. They do their best to split our public. I
assure you the opposition is united. On May 3, we are going to hold
a meeting in Freedom Square. ‘

Aram Karapetyan mentioned that they could prevent the flow of some
authorities. He also reminded the fact that Ministers are not allowed
to do business due to RoA Constitution. Those blaming Aram Karapetyan
for interrupting the concert burst out applauding and crying out,
"He speaks the truth." "New Times" also visited Charentsavan where
the meeting was without any hindrance.
