YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 27, NOYAN TAPAN. According to Artashes Geghamian,
the leader of the National Unity party, confrontation of the current
and former authorities is much more dangerous than reproduction of
the current power and return of the previous one. As A. Geghamian
stated at the November 27 press conference, the goal of his party is
to prevent that confrontation.

"We should preserve society from civil disturbances. It is inadmissible
that the people has to choose between black and white," the National
Unity Chairman said.

He confirmed the fact that he has lately met with RA President Robert
Kocharian, Prime Minister Serge Sargsian, first President Levon
Ter-Petrosian, and other politicians. According to A. Geghamian,
the political-economic challenges faced by the country, "country’s
sad state" were discussed during all meetings. He is convinced that
preservation of stability in the country is very important at the
moment, as otherwise "Armenia’s centuries-old enemies will take
advantage of that."
