THE MEETING MIGHT HAVE HAD A CONTEXT

Lragir, Armenia
Oct 2 2007

On October 2 the leader of the Christian Democratic Party hosted at
the Hayatsk press club commented on the meeting of Levon Ter-Petrosyan
and the ARF Dashnaktsutyun leaders. He said the meeting might have
had the purpose which had been announced. In other words, they met to
agree to wage civilized campaigns considering the "complicated past"
of the parties, Khosrov Harutiunyan says.

"I think, however, there are things nobody has been speaking about
so far, and we may only make suppositions. Especially if there is a
context," Khosrov Harutiunyan says with regard to Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s
address on September 21, the Independence Day.

Khosrov Harutiunyan says he had greater expectations from his address
after a decade of silence. The leader of the Christian Democratic
Party had expected a speech which would make think rather than spark
passions.

"Perhaps the All-Armenian Movement which did not run in the
parliamentary election should try in this period to expand its frame
of political agreement and arrangements and possibilities. I think
the negotiations with different political forces should be viewed in
this context," Khosrov Harutiunyan says. He ruled out, at least he
said it is illogical that Dashnaktsutyun which named president will
support Ter-Petrosyan if he runs in the presidential election.
