Their slander cannot force my family and me to leave my home country,
stated the leader of the Zharangutiun Party Raffi Hovannisian on
April 3. The politician facing the problem of losing the office of the
political party states that such a meanness of the government cannot
stop his struggle for democracy and the rights of the citizens. "For
my family and me the homeland is not a place of gaining profit,"
says Raffi Hovannisian. He said when he went to the soiree at the
Opera on April 1, the policemen started inquiring if he was not going
to organize a new rally in the Square of Azatutiun.
"When they take away my office, my home, a small tent will be enough
for me. The recent experience showed that tents are what the government
fears," says Raffi Hovannisian. He states that he would continue the
struggle with his fellow oppositionists, and in the upcoming months
they will find the way of coming together. "Everyone tends to feel
that by an artificially imported revolution the situation in Armenia
will not change. However, it is also obvious that evolutionary changes
typical of developed and civilized countries is not a way out for
Armenia. A new approach is required. It is necessary to look for new
values within this year, before the next early or scheduled election,"
states Raffi Hovannisian.
Raffi Hovannisian is apparently going to look for new values not
only within the opposition but also in the pro-governmental camp. He
mentions that first he will start with his fellow oppositionists. The
leader of the Zharangutiun Party, however, makes rather ambiguous
and transparent implications about partnership with the old and new
pro-governmental political parties. "Besides the opposition there are
new political parties and old political parties, each of them have
devotees, and I am not supposed to judge them. If there is a value,
it must be brought forward," states Raffi Hovannisian. He reminds,
however, about the importance of admitting mistakes committed
formerly, and states that the political forces should step out of
their personal interests and realize at last, that the state and not
power is at stake.
Nevertheless, Raffi Hovannisian considers the possibility of
reproduction of power more probable, saying that every rational
analysis will suggest this, considering the reality. "Sometimes I am
not sure if what I do now is politics or something else. But I will go
on, and I will stay in Armenia till the end," says Raffi Hovannisian.
