conference in the territory of Matenadaran.
Let us remind you that this method was first used by the “Republican”
party. According to the Chairman of the party “New Times” Aram
Karapetian they are ready to hold their meetings in the open air
as the authorities do not give them a place though the Hall of the
Government Briefings is free today. Before the participants of the
meeting gathered, Karapetian thanked the authorities for not closing
the roads this time. “We would hold our meeting regardless of the
roads closure,” declared Aram Karapetian.
Mr. Karapetian likes the surrounding of Matenadaran and he repeated
the words uttered at the conference of the “Republican Party,” “The
authorities do everything to exile the Opposition from the halls to
the street.”
Karapetian assures that 1200 people took part in their conference
and they got to Yerevan by the financial support of the party. “We
invested money and will still invest,” announced Aram Karapetian and
informed the authorities that the next conference would be held in
front of the RA Police – station as the police did not give back the
techniques taken from them.
Karapetian reminded the events of last April when the leader of the
party’s youth wing was shot, there were attempts of his arrest and
party threats. “You didn’t manage to press us and you won’t succeed
to do it in the future,” said Aram Karapetian. He informed the people
present that they are renewing their party “arsenal.”
“The party will always be in its form and shape, we have the same
purpose from Meghri to Noyemberian and try to make the party an
arsenal; 12 more territorial organizations will be formed and we
shall integrate 50 thousand members into the party and take them to
the capital,” stated Aram Karapetian and reminded that they had made
constructive suggestions for 3 years without any result. There is only
one way out, “The survival of the country lies in the activization
of the society.”
By the way, he gave up the idea of closing Pharakjar, as in his opinion
no country will accept the present authorities, so if they take a plane
they will remain in the air. “There is no need to close Pharakjar now;
there is a need to gather people.” He advised the airport workers not
to look for the keys of Pharakjar in his luggage. Today Aram Karapetian
also commented on his words which have recently become a saying,
“I always say, “today I threat you with my finger, tomorrow I shall
threat you with the law”. I am not guilty that everybody grasped my
words in his own way,” the Chairman of the party “New Times” made
the participants glad with his words.
The conference opened and closed under the sounds of the RA State
hymn. The policemen carefully followed the process of the conference.
