YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 26, NOYAN TAPAN. "At this moment Liberty Square is
not "free" and becomes a square of traitors to their country. It will
be freed only when Levon Ter-Petrosian comes to see reason." Galust
Sahakian, the Vice-Chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA),
said at the February 26 press conference. "Those who were professors of
robbing our state, electoral falsifications, agitate freedom today,"
he said. At the same time G. Sahakian said that he does not share
the opinion that the current situation is grave and strained.
In his words, during the whole election campaign they did not predict
a single thing: that there will be a political force or forces, which
will try to endanger Armenia’s independence for an exact purpose,
especially will speculate the Nagorno Karabakh problem.
In G. Sahakian’s opinion, a solution should be found to unauthorized
rallies, and the state’s competent bodies will pursue that issue. At
the same time, in his words, there is a misguided people in Liberty
Square, which has gathered there for different reasons, with different
problems. And the rally organized by the Republican Party of Armenia
is the last victorious rally.
Touching upon a possible dialogue with Levon Ter-Petrosian, G. Sahakian
said that the dialogue has its limits and framework. "This is not a
team, but people setting traps, who were celebrating their victory
still at the beginning of the elections. Their task is not becoming
President, but weakening Armenia, ceding Karabakh with trifling crumbs
in order to do a service to their masters, oil and gas magnates,"
G. Sahakian said.
As for the ARFD’s proposal on stopping cooperation in the coalition,
G. Sahakian said that the statement was made not long ago and it should
be deeply analysed and only then they will give an estimation to it.
