Why do Armenians assume that they can combat against the acting
authorities only via power and weapon? The Anti-Criminal Movement
has decided to initiate a large-scale discussion in this view to make
people aware of certain things.
"How will you count for the wide-spread opinion that no problems can
be solved without weapon in Armenia?
Today everybody thinks so, but only two people dared to announce it
loudly", Aram Karapetyan, leader of "New Times" Party started his
speech today.
Mr. Karapetyan addressed his words to the journalists as well. "If
Nairi Hounanyan came to an agreement with all the parties, occupied
the NA building and didn’t realize the carnage of October 27, could
you predict in what way we could struggle against the authorities
formed by Hounanyan. In case there weren’t elections in Armenia,
the authorities would make arrangements on all issues, how could
we struggle against them? Didn’t Fidel Castro come to power via
weapon? There were many revolutions in Venezuela, weren’t there? I can
bring numerous other illustrations. Whereas, Robert Kocharyan sits
on his post and explains to us whether revolutions can be colourful
or not. If Robert Kocharyan thinks that he can prevent coup d’etat
in Armenia via arrests or threats, he is awfully mistaken."
Aram Karapetyan is indignant at Robert Kocharyan’s last
speech. "How can the head of a country say that elections will be
fabricated? Instead of saying they will do their best to prevent
election frauds, Mr. Kocharyan urges the Election Commission members
not to be enticed by bribes".
Mr. Karapetyan reminded Robert Kocharyan that under the RA Criminal
Code all people offering bribes as well as accepting them will be
punished. "The head of the country informs people which parties will
be in the National Assembly. He affirms the list of majoritarian
system deputies. Who has granted him such a right?"
Then Mr. Karapetyan started to speak of Gorik Hakobyan, head of
National Security Service. "Mr. Hakobyan must come to know that enemies
can be both inside the country and beyond its boundaries whereas he
looks for his enemies in Armenia."
Today, the leader of "New Times" assured that they are going to inform
the international community about the current events in Armenia. "We
shall inform all the Senators, members of Russian Duma, Bundestag,
representatives of the French Parliament. Today, RA authorities are
ready to do everything possible for their reproduction."
