`KARABAKH PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BECOME A CHANGE’
[08:31 pm] 06 December, 2007

The official campaign has not been launched yet, but Chairman of the
RA NA Tigran Torosyan assesses this pre-election period satisfactory.

But one problem bothers the NA Chairman. `Some people go beyond the
limits of certain issues, regarding the NKR problem. Karabakh issue
has become a change and it is prohibited’. Tigran Torosyan did not
tell `A1+’ which party stipulated Karabakh problem. `I think that you
are well-aware of everyone’s announcements and will draw conclusions’.

Tigran Torosyan is not concerned by the anti-propagating behavior of
the National TV Company, since he does not have time to watch TV. `I
do not follow the programs on the National TV and cannot estimate the
situation’.

To our observation that the National TV Company differs from others by
accumulating financial means, while the law demands pluralism, Mr
Torosyan said: `Mass media often shows incoherent approach. Each one
should account for his steps, regarding the implemented
methods’. Tigran Torosyan also noticed that mutual offences preserved
in other countries as well, and reminded the elections of the prime
minister in Italy.

Mr Torosyan pointed that he did not find anything bad in stirring in
the past. `Reflecting in the past is quite normal, but within the
limits of decency. We may discuss any issue within the frameworks of
politeness’.

To the question of `A1+’ how the parliamentary majority will work if
Ter-Petrosyan is elected, Tigran Torosyan responded: `The parliament
and, particularly, I have always worked with the former and with the
present presidents and I will go on working within the frames of the
laws and the Constitution, but I will definitely say that Levon
Ter-Petrosyan will not be elected’.
