ACTIVITY OF BAZE IS AIMED AT REPRODUCTION OF KOCHARIAN’S POWER, ANM
REPRESENTATIVE AFFIRMS
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 9, NOYAN TAPAN. "It is surprising that the ideology
of ruling Republican Party of Armenia is based on religious and other
values, about which RPA speaks most of all, instead of presenting a
concrete program. One forms an impression that RPA is a sectarian
organization." Karen Karapetian, leader of youth wing of Armenian
National Movement (ANM), declared this at the February 9 discussion at
the Hayeli (Mirror) club. In his words, the Armenian authorities which
are engaged in splitting the opposition strive for "corrupting" youth
organizations as in them like in main parties there is such phenomenon
as deserting. Besides, the authorities use some youth organizations
for their own purposes. Thus, in K. Karapetian’s words, the activity
of Baze youth organization is aimed at reproducing Robert Kocharian’s
power. Another participant of the discussion, leader of RPA youth wing
Karen Avagian assured that no young RPA member has left the party so
far: "We properly implement all party programs and consider that the
best way of realizing our programs is RPA’s coming to power."
K. Avagian also assured that RPA is ready for holding fair and honest
elections.
