On September 21, on the occasion of the 16th anniversary of Armenia’s
independence, the Armenian National Movement is having a celebration at
the Armenia-Marriot hotel. As informed to panorama.am by the party’s
press spokesman, Karen Karapetyan, nearly all of the opposition
representatives are invited to the two-hour event, with the exception
of the three ruling parties, the Republicans, Prosperous Armenia,
and Dashnaktsutyun.
We note that Gurgen Arsenyan, of the United Workers party, is also
invited.
To the question as to why representatives of the ruling parties
are not invited to an event celebrating the country’s independence,
Karapetyan answered, "They are the ones bearing the responsibility
of the illegalities currently plaguing the country."
The speaker assured us that Levon Ter Petrosyan would be present at
the event. But as to whether he will break his long-lasting silence,
Karapetyan had difficulty answering: "I think only he can answer
that question."
