YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 9, NOYAN TAPAN. Members of the Zharangutiun
(Heritage) RA NA faction will not follow the example of party
leader Raffi Hovannisian and will not put down their deputy
mandates. Faction member Stepan Safarian stated this at a September
9 press conference. In his words, as far back as at the end of last
year the party Board made a decision to continue working at the
parliament. In spite of it, according to the deputy, that decision
does not prohibit anyone to make a personal decision.
According to S. Safarian, R. Hovannisian’s decision was expected to
become a subject of various kinds of talks. In his words, the reasons
of that step, which was a surprise for many and predictable for others,
come from the depth, from various planes. According to S. Safarian,
in R. Hovannisian’s opinion, national problems proceed from problems
of domestic democratization, starting March 1 and the period following
it, inability to solve conflicts, up to international developments
contradicting Armenia’s interests as a result of society’s and state’s
vulnerability, when the authorities obediently as a slave do what
they are dictated.
