MARXIST PARTY ANNOUNCES ITS BREAK AWAY FROM ARMENIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS ALLIANCE
Tert.am
15.12.09
After a long and deliberate analysis, during the political stagnation
stage of this historic period, a decision was made at the plenary
session of Armenia’s Marxist Party to suspend its membership with the
Armenian National Congress (ANC) political alliance, said candidate
of the No. 10 electoral district parliamentary elections and Marxist
Party Leader Davit Hakobyan at a press conference today.
In Hakobyan’s words, the ANC is formed during a certain historic
stage, while its main purpose and mission is "implementing a change in
governing leadership through an ideological generation change." Apart
from that, according to Hakobyan, the main issue is not whether
"you become a part of the governing leadership or not."
The Marxist Party leader came to the following conclusion: "That
alliance, after all, theoretically didn’t serve the new national
doctrinated conception, it wasn’t able to serve… new foreign and
internal affairs policy tenets to the public." In Hakobyan’s opinion,
the most important thing is that the Armenian National Congress didn’t
remain an opposition of the Pan-Armenian National Movement.
With today’s landscape, according to Hakobyan, the situation dictates
the formation of a new principled political force with a new leader
in order to resolve the three large issues before the nation.
The three large issues, in the Marxist leader’s opinion, are as
follows: ideological unanimity, the nation’s biological and physical
security and the regional entirety of Armenian historic-geography,
as well as the issue of a new diplomatic doctrine in the diplomatic
stage of resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Afterwards, Hakobyan expressed his gratitude to the 18 political
parties with whom he collaborated. "I am proud that I have stood on the
platform that publicized democracy with the Republic’s first president
Levon Ter-Petrossian, though the history is brutal," said Hakobyan.
