Oppositionist: Revolution in Armenia can be accomplished with the
help of Russian, US and European mass media
The leader of the Democratic Way party, MP Manuk Gasparyan says that
his party may establish cooperation with 5-6 political forces before
the parliamentary elections 2007. REGNUM correspondent reports him to
say during a press-conference today that he does not have enough
funds to run in the elections 2007. `I consider possible cooperation
with parties sharing our ideology: with Artur Bagdassaryan (ex
parliamentary speaker, the leader of the Orinats Yerkir party), Aram
Z. Sargsyan (the Republic party), Artashes Gegamyan (the National
Unity party), Raffi Hovhannissyan (the Heritage party), Stepan
Demirchyan (the People's Party). We will not form a bloc with those
parties, but if they decide to join us before the elections, we will
welcome them. I don't know what exact decision will be made, but
cooperation with those forces is quite possible,' says Gasparyan.
He notes that presently the Armenian opposition is quite weak and
inactive. `Our opposition cannot carry out a revolution. The only
person who can do that is Gagik Tsarukyan (well-known businessman,
the founder and leader of the Prospering Armenia party - REGNUM), but
he will not,' says Gasparyan. However, he says that revolution in
Armenia can be well imposed from outside. `If external forces wish to
carry out a revolution, they will easily do that and the Russian, US,
and European mass media may help them in the matter,' says Gasparyan.
Gasparyan says that mid-term parliamentary elections are also
possible in Armenia. He also promises to `put an end to corruption
and crime in three days' if he wins in the elections.
