Leader of the "New Times" Party Aram Karapetyan spoke about domestic
and foreign policy issues today. He is not satisfied with the process
of development of the Armenian-Turkish relations. The leader of the
party is not content with the developments on the domestic political
field, either.

He sees political motives in the core of the possible amnesty. He
considers that the dissolution of the fact-finding group and the
amnesty will close the page of March 1.

"We are involved in a Turkey-Azerbaijan game. They were pretending
to have bad relations, but there are the United States and Israel
standing behind all this. We could face the problem of survival by
getting involved in this game without enjoying the support of the
United States or Russia," Aram Karapetyan said, commenting on the
Armenian-Turkish relations.

The leader of the "New Times" party is not content with the domestic
political developments, either. He sees political motives in the core
of the possible amnesty. "The page of March 1 gets closed with the
dissolution of the fact-finding group and the amnesty," he said.

The opposition needs to be transformed, Aram Karapetyan considers. The
"New Times" Party will not join the Armenian National Congress,
it is a separate opposition front, the leader of the party said.
