YEREVAN, OCTOBER 26, NOYAN TAPAN. "I think no colored revolutions
will happen in Armenia, as our people sees very well that colored
revolutions generate nothing good," RA NA Speaker Tigran Torosian
said on October 29, in response to journalists’ questions.
In connection with the statement on running for the presidential
elections made by first RA President Levon Ter-Petrosian at the October
26 rally, T. Torosian said that RPA is not going to change its tactics
and will present its positions at the November 10 congress. "I think
it will be senseless if the most influential political force taking
part in the elections makes changes in its approaches in connection
with this or that candidate’s running for the elections or not,"
the NA Speaker stated. In response to the question about considering
L. Ter-Petrosian as RPA’s candidate’s main rival he said that "not
politicians but society with its votes classes rivals."
During the October 26 visit to Kapan, RA President Robert Kocharian
had told journalists that "ANM has left a very bad heritage and is
responsible for undermining Armenia’s economy." T. Torosian said
in this connection that the issue has two sides: "objective ansd
subjective processes." "I am sure that RA President’s formulation
regarded the very subjective processes," the NA Speaker said. In
connection with responsibility of ANM, which made part of the
Hanrapetutiun union with ANM until 1998, he said that it is very easy
to draw conclusions, "taking into consideration the extent of RPA’s
participation in the parliamentary majority and especially its not
having any representatives in the executive power at all."
