IN OPINION OF ARTUR BAGHDASARIAN, THE FACT THAT OPPOSITION DID NOT
RESPOND TO OYP’S CALLS FOR SOLIDARITY RESULTED IN MASS DISORDERS
YEREVAN, MARCH 22, NOYAN TAPAN. According to the chairman of Orinats
Yerkir party (OYP) Artur Baghdasarian, throughout the presidential
election campaign, their party behaved as the most decent political
force. As he stated at the March 22 forum of OYP Women’s Union, their
political team appealed to the other presidential candidates to display
decency, correctness and solidarity but there was no response to these
calls. In the words of A. Baghdasarian, the fact that the forces to
have "declared themselves radical opposition" did not respond to these
calls resulted in mass disorders and victims in the postelection period.
"Today we are again speaking about the necessity of solidarity and
cooperation," he stated.
Congratulating the Women’s Union on the occasion of March 8 and April 7
holidays, A. Baghdasarian said that women make up over 70% of the OYP
members, and the party’s achivements and success are also conditioned
by this fact.
