ArmInfo. "Refusal of Visa and Passport Department of the Police to
give me certificate about permanent living in Armenia for the last
10 years is a political order of the authorities", – the leader of
the New Times party Aram Karapetyan told ArmInfo correspondent when
commenting on the lawsuit filed by his complaint at the first instance
court of Center Nork-Marash districts.
Today’s sitting of the court was ceased and moved to December 4 as
the plaintiff came forward with several motions. In particular,
Aram Karapetyan asked to submit to the court a certificate from
Central Electoral Commission dated 2003 according to which he has been
permanently living in Armenia over the last ten years. This certificate
was a ground for Karapetyan to run for president in 2003. He also asked
the defendant to clarify how the Armenian Police gained a docket from
the house register of Vernardskiy avenue in Moscow. The judge Edik
Avetisyan gave a day to the defendant, Colonel Hovanes Kocharyan to
answer the question.
Aram Karapetyan was surprised how the police may answer the question
in a day. Asked by ArmInfo correspondent to comment on the fact why
he was allowed to ruin for president in 2003 and was not allowed
in 2008, Karapetyan replied: "That time I was considered a Moscow
guest actor and did not pay attention to me "allowing" me to run for
president. But at present I have become a serious threatening factor
for the authorities. I officially declare: irrespective of the fact
I an registered or not, anyway the power will be changed in February
2008. I own enough will, number of supporters and means to take people
to the streets and implement national revolution.
And the authors of the political order against me, grave-diggers of
the democratic elections will be answerable for this", – the leader
of the New Times party Aram Karapetyan said.
