Lragir, Armenia

On September 28 at the Pastark Club the head of the ALM Holding and
the leader of the People’s Party Tigran Karapetyan advised the ARF
Dashnaktsutyun never to refer to their ideas again after what they have
done in the parliamentary election. According to Tigran Karapetyan,
the ARF Dashnaktsutyun gave bribes. "Everyone gave, so did the ARF
Dashnaktsutyun," Tigran Karapetyan says.
"Mildly speaking, Dashnaktsutyun lies when it says it is not
government," he says. According to him, a party which has appointed
ministers is but government. "It is something else that Dashnaktsutyun
is heavy artillery, it has its own style, to win by itself, without
anyone’s help. And it has always aimed to be government, fully," Tigran
Karapetyan says. He says Dashnaktsutyun wants to take power because it
knows if it fails to take it fully, it will not appoint the ministers
it desires. So why did Dashnaktsutyun support Robert Kocharyan in 1998
and 2003 and has just decided to name president? Tigran Karapetyan
has an answer to this question.
"It is clear that Serge Sargsyan prevented Dashnaktsutyun from
security agencies. If Serge Sargsyan becomes president, they know
that in ten years, I think the in-law Mikhael Minasyan is growing,
Dashnaktsutyun understands that it needs a breakthrough," Tigran
Karapetyan says. Does he mean that Serge Sargsyan’s presidency will
be worse for Dashnaktsutyun than the present period? Tigran Karapetyan
answers that it will be neither bad nor good, it will be the same. "I
am saying that the ministries have nothing to do, if they had ten
mandates, the ministries will remain theirs," Tigran Karapetyan says.
