GOAL OF UNIFICATION OF NOR ZHAMANAKNER, IMPEACHMENT AND HANRAPETUTIUN
IS TO INITIATE JOINT ACTIONS AND NOT TO GAIN VOTES, ARAM KARAPETIAN
SAYS
YEREVAN, APRIL 28, NOYAN TAPAN. The most active and aggressive force
during the election campaign is the Nor Zhamanakner (New Times)
Party. Party Chairman Aram Karapetian qualified Nor Zhamanakner’s
agitation activity in this way at the April 28 press conference. He,
in particular, expressed satisfaction with the decision of Nor
Zhamanakner, Hanrapetutiun parties and Impeachment bloc to hold a
joint election campaign.
A. Karapetian stressed that the goal of unification of Nor Zhamanakner,
Hanrapetutiun and Impeachment is not to receive more votes, but to
initiate the above mentioned actions. He said that it is not clear
yet whether two of above mentioned three political forces will leave
election campaign and will call their electorate for voting for the
third force. By the way, A. Karapetian considers that the "assertions"
that allegedly the people is disappointed with political processes
are false.
He said that the viewpoint, according to which the votes of not united
opposition will be dispersed, does not correspond to reality. In
A. Karapetian’s words, the oppositionists did rightly taking part in
the elections separately.
Otherwise, if the opposition united, the authorities, as NZP leader
affirmed, would also "consolidate." Besides, as A. Karapetian assured,
participation in elections independently does not stop and will not
stop radical oppositionists from doing "joint actions" both within
the framework of election campaign and after the elections.
