    WILL ARMENIAN PRESIDENT AND DEFENSE MINISTER PLAY A "ROYAL GAMBIT"?

    "During its last congress the Republican Party of Armenia gained
    absolute control over in the country," the leader of the Marxist Party
    of Armenia David Hakopyan said at a news conference on August 9. "For
    the second time since 1998 the military and punitive machines have
    got into the hands of one party, who also controls the parliament
    and the government," says Hakopyan.

    Hakopyan says that the RPA congress paved the way for "a parliamentary
    coup."

    It was "Bonapartism, Juntism, Blacism" and "political adventurism."

    Hakopyan is sure that next spring Serzh Sargsyan will start an active
    political campaign, a kind of "royal gambit." "If Republicans fail
    to do that, they will only lose as this will be the best time for
    such a step. It would be political idiotism on their part to try to
    do that after the parliamentary elections," says Hakopyan.

    "The RPA should follow the example of the Bolsheviks. They must not
    miss their chance: Serzh Sargsyan must become Armenian President
    by January 2007 -or never," says Hakopyan. Under such a scenario,
    Armenian President Robert Kocharyan should resign no later than
    October-November 2006.

    "After the failure of the Karabakh peace talks, Armenia needs,
    at least, one year of respite on the diplomatic arena as by that
    time George Bush will resign and new president Hillary Clinton will
    drastically change the US policy."

    "To get this respite, we need a royal gambit and, realizing this,
    Kocharyan should resign before the end of his term," says Hakopyan.

    He says that his party will run in the parliamentary elections on
    its own " with no cooperation with any other political forces."

    The parliamentary elections in Armenia are scheduled for 2007, the
    presidential election for 2008.
