`VAHAN HOVHANNISYAN'S WORDS ARE NONSENSE'
[07:43 pm] 14 December, 2006
On December 13 a number of journalists tried to know the opinion of
Vahan Hovhannisyan, NA deputy Speaker and ARF Dashnaktsutyun member,
on the arrest of Zhirayr Sefilyan. The journalists also reminded Mr.
Hovhannisyan that it was Dashnaktsutyun that organized marches in
Yerevan during the years of the war.
The acting authorities claim that Sefilyan's arrest was determined by
the fact that his steps jeopardized the statehood of Armenia.
The journalists wondered whether the rallies of complaint organized by
ARF Dashnaktsutyun didn't put the statehood of Armenia into peril.
In answer to this question, Mr. Hovhannisyan said that in case they
hadn't organized rallies, Armenia would have lost the war.
Mr. Hovhannisyan refrained from going into details and didn't open the
brackets.
Today, Smbat Ayvazyan, member of Republican Party commented on Vahan
Hovhannisyan's speech and said, `Mr. Hovhannisyan's words are
nonsense. When they initiated marches in Yerevan there was no one to
fight on the frontier'.
Smbat Ayvazyan maintains that in case ARF Dashnaktsutyun attempts to
change its opinion on the Karabakh conflict settlement, namely on the
liberated territories, the party had better close down.
