AGHASI ARSHAKIAN: SITUATION FORMED IN POLITICAL FIELD IS ARTIFICIAL
AND IS GUIDED BY THIRD FORCE
YEREVAN, MAY 25, NOYAN TAPAN. The current situation in the political
field is artificial and is guided by a third force, Aghasi Arshakian,
member of RA NA National Unity faction, declared at the May 25 dispute
with Hovhannes Margarian, member of the Orinats Yerkir (Country of
Law) faction, at the Hayeli (Mirror) club. According to Arshakian, the
“mutual insults and accusations” between the Orinats Yerkir and
National Unity were initiated by the very third force. Whereas,
according to him, the National Unity only wanted to receive an answer
to the question “why is it so bad in our country and who are the main
persons to blame for this?”. By the way, the National Unity also wants
to receive an answer to this question from the new forces introduced
to the policy and guided from one center. “Only then we will meet them
with open arms in the opposition field,” Arshakian declared. As he
estimated, “the authorities realize that it is no longer possible to
hold new elections by old methods, so they introduce new forces to the
political field.” Hovhannes Margarian mentioned that the two political
fields, the power and the opposition, belong to the people and it
should decide what force to what field is more acceptable.
According to him, OYP left the coalition not at the bidding of a
“third force” but “because of having essential disagreements with the
coalition partners around some issues of principle.” As H.Margarian
estimated, no split took place in OYP, but the party has become
stronger. “Only 84 members of the political force having 62 thousand
devotees left the party and 1800 joined it during the past month,” he
mentioned. In connection with the accusations addressed to member of
National Unity faction Gagik Kostandian Aghasi Arshakian said that
Kostandian does not any longer supply anything to RA Defence Ministry.
