YEREVAN, JULY 19, NOYAN TAPAN. Yuri Manukian, the Chairman of the
United Commnunist Party of Armenia, at the July 19 press conference,
said that all developments in Armenia completely coincide with the
tasks of a stable state. He said that there are some negative phenomena
in country’s political-public life, "but worse things happen even in
the most democratic countries." "I accept the current state system and
I am proud of it," Y. Manukian stated. In his words, the very thing is
the difference between the party headed by him and the other communist
parties, the Communist Party of Armenia and the Progressive Communist
Party of Armenia, which have announced themselves radical opposition.
Touching upon the possible nomination of the candidature of the first
RA President, Levon Ter-Petrosian, for the 2008 presidential elections,
Y. Manukian said that they should ask L. Ter-Petrosian personally
about it and only then reason. And on the whole Y. Manukian treats
the first RA President’s return to politics positively. "I do not
accept any twaddle addressed either to current or former Presidents,"
the leader of the United Communist Party of Armenia stated.
