YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 3, NOYAN TAPAN. "I am going to continue providing
information within the framework of the anti-criminal movement in the
nearest future," Aram Karapetian, the Chairman of the Nor Zhamanakner
(New Times) Party, stated at the September 3 press conference. In his
words, he is going to provide society many facts about violation of law
since 1992. He also said that many sensational statements will be made,
including exposures on the terrorist act at the parliament committed
on October 27, 1999. "There were organizers in this case, some people
knew about that and did not inform any one," A. Karapetian stated.
Issues connected with further deepening of Armenian-Russian cooperation
were paid a special attention at the press conference. In the opinion
of the Nor Zhamanakner Party Chairman, there is no competition between
Russia and the U.S. in the region because of Armenia.
A. Karapetian did not agree to the opinion that Prime Minister Serge
Sargsian is a candidate for presidency enjoying Kremlin’s support. "All
these programs of Armenia’s cooperation with NATO are the evidence
of the fact that S. Sargsian is offended with Russia. To have ties in
Russia does not mean to have possibilities yet. No one wants his name
to be connected with an odious person," the NZ party Chairman said.
