    Colleagues send Hmayak Hovhannissian to Hollywood
    By Karine Mangasarian

    Yerkir/arm
    25 March 05

    The reason for this decision is the funeral ceremony organized by
    Hovhannissian yesterday in the National Assembly. Performed at the
    best of his artistic skills he brought a wreath with a black ribbon
    and placed it in front of the National Assembly session hall.
    Hovhannissian organized this funeral ceremony to commemorate the death
    of the political coalition.

    He believes the coalition has died because the political forces
    forming it did not participate in the discussion on returning the bank
    savings of 700,000 Armenians deposited to the savings bank of the
    Armenian SSR. Hovhannissian was the initiator of the failed discussion
    and believed `the issue could be discussed in a normal environment'.

    While Hmayak Hovhannissian was busy giving interviews and explaining
    his initiative deputy Hakob Hakobian suggested he could ask Artak
    Arakelian, a deputy from Orinats Yerkir's parliamentary faction, to
    sing a beautiful song on this occasion.

    Head of the parliamentary faction of Republican Party of Armenia
    Galust Sahakian said he had ordered duduk music for the funeral at the
    same time calling this initiative an act of political populists whose
    actions have ridiculous consequences.

    `This is a tragic event because a political show on returning the
    population' s bank savings has started. This is not a proper way of
    returning bank savings,' Sahakian said noting that the only way to
    solve this issue is to work well.

    `We have to work well and create opportunities for retuning the bank
    savings. If we unite merely for the purpose of gaining political
    profits before the elections we will end up cheating the population
    again. It is not a moral act, to put it mildly, when the political
    forces or individual leaders build their further political careers on
    cheating,' Sahakian concluded.

    Meanwhile, Hmayak Hovhannissian was so excited about his own
    initiative that speaking about his future plans he declared that he
    was going to organize another funeral ceremony with participation of a
    larger number of people. The deputy never mentioned how he was going
    to return the bank savings and where he would get money for returning
    them.

    P.S.- It would be great if the National Assembly deputies could be at
    least as enthusiastic when participating in the parliamentary
    discussions as they were when exchanging jokes about the funeral
    wreath.
