    CONFESSION OR ABSOLUTION WITH A DELAY OF THREE YEARS

    [06:54 pm] 14 April, 2006

    Today, three years after the 2003 Presidential
    elections, Spartak Eghiazaryan, head of the Aragatsotn
    region Oshakan village Local Electoral Committee
    N0430, made a startling revelation. He had turned to
    secretary of the National Unity faction Alexan
    Karapetyan who had brought him to the NA.

    He confessed that three elections in a row he did what
    he was told by the authorities and fabricated the
    results of the elections. In particular, during the
    Presidential election they declared that 60% of the
    votes were for Kocharyan, whereas in fact Kocharyan
    had gathered only 12% of the votes. He was only in the
    third place after Demirchyan and Geghamyan. Ad during
    the Constitutional referendum, according to Spartak
    Eghiazaryan, only 60 people has voted, with 30 votes
    for the draft, 22 against, and 8 invalid ballots. But
    they represented 1649 ballots.

    Spartak Eghiazaryan confessed that he accepts his
    fault and is ready to take punishment, but he also
    said that he did what he did for fear, `I have two
    children who are students. I feared fro them,'
    Eghiazaryan confessed and informed that he has
    informed all the possible instances about his crime:
    the Prosecutor, the President and the Defense
    Minister.

    `But what can the Prosecutor do? If he devotes his
    time to this kind of thinks, who will organize the
    tree planting?' said Viktor Dallakyan, secretary of
    the Justice faction.

    Levon Lazarian, head of the Armenian Revolutionary
    Federation faction, noted that the NA is not a church
    where he can be given absolution; there are
    corresponding structures for it which must investigate
    the case, and the court must take into account the
    sincere confession and give a mild punishment.

    By the way, Spartak Eghiazaryan promised the
    journalists to tell more interesting things. Asked a
    question if he is not afraid now, he answered, `You
    can't live with fear in your heart all your life.'
