YEREVAN, OCTOBER 28, NOYAN TAPAN. "There is information that the
movement led by Levon Ter-Petrosian is financed from abroad, in
particular, by American forces," Razmik Zohrabian, the Vice-Chairman
of the Republican Party of Armenia, stated at the October 28 press
conference. According to him, that financing is done within the
framework of the program on organization of a regular colored
revolution in the region. Touching upon the assertion voiced by
the first Armenian President at the October 17 rally that President
Serzh Sargsyan is gradually turning to the West, R. Zohrabian said:
"L. Ter-Petrosian himself had a Russian orientation formerly, then both
Russian and Western, and now his orientation is a kind of a mishmash."

In response to the question of how he estimates opposition’s decision
to temporarily stop the rallies, R. Zohrabian said that he is glad
that "his ears will rest" even if for some time. And in general,
according to him, that decision can be dictated by opposition’s
foreign masters. "Yesterday I heard Levon Ter-Petrosian’s statement
that special rallies are not excluded in the coming months. It also
depends on the orders of his masters," the RPA figure said.
