    `If a person announces that he has nothing to do, if a political
    figure announces that personal connections are not related to
    political connection, I think it is useless to touch upon this issue
    again,' stated Vahram Baghdasaryan, one of the founders of the Union
    for Armenia Party June 30 about Attorney General Aghvan Hovsepyan.
    Member of Parliament Baghdasaryan announced thatthe rumors about the
    relation between the political party and the Attorney General have
    been refuted for a number of times, and there is no need to refute it
    again. In the meantime, despite refutations, everyone except Vahram
    Baghdasaryan believes that the Attorney General is related to the
    Union for Armenia Party. There is even an opinion that the building of
    the political party slowed down because of the same Attorney General,
    who is facing problems.

    Vahram Baghdasaryan refutes rumors about accidents in party building,
    adding that everything goes on in accordance with the plan. There is
    no suspension, every political force has its strategy, style of
    work. In other words, harmonious advance. `It is not clear yet who
    reaches on time, a fast runner or a slow runner,' states Vahram
    Baghdasaryan ambiguously.

    He even says that this is a good period for setting up a political
    party.` Hence, in taking a step they should wait until there are
    favorable conditions.

    Frankly speaking, I haven't seen such a political vacuum throughout my
    political career as in the past few months. I can also open the
    brackets. There is no real government, the coalition was, in other
    words, the sphere is empty.

    There was no real opposition, ideological. Personified opposition
    forces, opposition forces connected with certain personal problems
    formed. In other words, the powerful opposition force, which could act
    as a locomotive, is absent, the sphere is vacant. There were also
    pre-election conditions. In other words, there were all the
    preconditions to set up a political force. In other words, there were
    no political forces which had real control of the situation.

    In other words, there was a public demand for a new voice, for a new
    force,' says Vahram Baghdasaryan. According to him, in 2003 it was
    early to set up a political party, for the efforts could fail.

    Vahram Baghdasaryan says the Union for Armenia Party is
    right-centrist, and is going to act under the same principle as the
    People's Deputy Group. Vahram Baghdasaryan disagrees, he thinks that
    they will not just criticize, because people are tired of an
    opposition which does nothing but criticizing. The Union for Armenia
    Party has 30 thousand members, who are against swearing,or 30 thousand
    members, who are for the union. At least, Vahram Baghdasaryan says at
    the moment they have 30 thousand registered members. In the election
    they aspire to a serious place to form a government. However, Vahram
    Baghdasaryan does not hurry to specify percentages, because the
    political party is still being set up.

    `After the assembly in fall, when a decision will have been made that
    we must run for the parliament at full speed, and there will already
    be a decision whether we will be running for parliament alone or in
    alliance, we will be able to give a full answer,' says Vahram
    Baghdasaryan. As for the assembly, they are not in a hurry.

    `We cannot just hold an assembly although we can fill any hall. There
    are problems we need to settle, not only for the members of the party
    but alsofor our supporters. There are also styles of performance, what
    statement we must make on such an important occasion,' says Vahram
    Baghdasaryan. According to him, the reason for delaying the assembly
    is the time rather than political intrigues. Vahram Baghdasaryan says
    they need time to work out a region al policy, find support in the
    regions, and understand the psychology of every region.
