HAROUTIUN ARAKELIAN: "TERRY DAVIS ENTITLES HIMSELF TO BE MASTER OF
ARMENIAN PEOPLE’S DESTINY"

YEREVAN, JUNE 29, NOYAN TAPAN. "Terry Davis, the Secretary General of
the European Council, is abusing his position by using it in favour of
the anti-Armenian policy of the British Government," Haroutiun
Arakelian, the Chairman of the Armenian Liberal Democratic Party,
believes. As he mentioned at the June 28 press conference, Terry Davis
"has entitled himself to be the master of the Armenian people’s
destiny." According to H. Arakelian, nobody is entitled "to foresee
beforehand on behalf of the world that the presidential elections of
the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh will not be recognized by the world
and declare that the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh is considered a
captured territory."

In H. Arakelian’s opinion, Terry Davis is openly conducting a pro-Azeri
policy by using the Council of Europe in the interests of the "British
Petrolium" organization of the oil industry, which has made great
investments in Azerbaijan.

Taking into consideration the lately published "ideas and wishes" of
the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, the Chairman of the
Armenian Liberal Democratic Party suggested to the factions represented
in the National Assembly to organize open hearings concerning the
developments expected in the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh and the
suggested solutions, as well as "envolving all interested parties in
them."

H. Arakelian says: "The RA Minister of Foreign Affairs should be
engaged in issues of the foreign department at least from time to time
besides making intrigues in the Diaspora and expressing his
dissatisfaction with Terry Davis’ partiality and abuse of position."
