RA PRESIDENT COMMENTS ON THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF POLITICAL FORCES OF
ARMENIA REGARDING THE CRIMINAL INCIDENT IN SEVAN
YEREVAN, May 3. /ARKA/. The RA President Robert Kocharian commented
on the announcement of Armenian political parties regarding the
criminal incident in Sevan, which took place on April 20, 2005 during
the meeting of Aram Karapetyan, the leader of New Times party with
the residents of Sevan city. In his interview to Public TV of
Armenia, Kocharian said that he agrees with the part of the
announcement, which says that criminal elements must not participate
in political processes. In this particular case, according to
Kocharian, the reason for making this announcement was lame, as the
preliminary investigation showed that the scuffle was caused by the
organizer of the meeting himself and the criminal elements can be
found in his company. According to the President, most of the parties
which signed the announcement were not aware of the situation.
According to the RA President, this incident had a second underlying
theme. He reminded that the incident took place before April 24
(Armenian Genocide Commemoration Day), on the first day of his visit
to France. It gave the impression that the incident "followed a
deliberate aim to spoil something during these days". According to
him, in case of more grave consequences of the incident, all the
events dedicated to April 24, including the international conference,
dedicated to the Armenian Genocide would have a different coloring
and would be perceived differently, and "our enemies and adversaries
would have tried to actively use that against us". "Only the persons,
who have a psychology of a traitor could make such steps during this
crucial days for our people", said Kocharian.
Note, On April 21, the Armenian oppositional and pro-governmental
parties signed an announcement, which stated their deep concern for
the criminal incident which took place during the meeting of Aram
Karapetyan, the leader of New Times party with the population of
Sevan a day ago. As a result, Garegin Petrosyan member of the youth
group of the party, student of Yerevan State University was shot with
a gun and wounded. L.V.-0--
