BUSINESSMAN PARLIAMENTARY GROUP FREE TO CHOOSE THE WAY
TO CONTEST 2007 ELECTIONS

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 15, ARMENPRESS: Mekhak
Mekhitarian, the secretary of a parliamentary group
which is made of defectors from former parliament
chairman Arthur Baghdasarian’s Orinats Yerkir faction,
said today the ten members of the group called
Businessman are free to join a political force or an
alliance to contest the 2007 parliamentary election.
He said some may choose to run from single-mandate
constituencies, while some others are very likely to
be placed on some party’s slates.
He said the time will show what format 10 members
of the group, five of whom were elected form
single-mandate constituencies and the other five on
party lists, will eventually choose. Mekhitarian said
members of the group maintain ‘normal, human
relationships with Orinats Yerkir."

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
