OPPOSITIONAL POLITICIAN: "ORINATS YERKIR" PARTY WAS USUAL PR-PROJECT AND ITS AUTHORS TRY TO CLOSE IT AFTER ITS ELIMINATION
Yerevan, May 19. ArmInfo. The "Orinats Yerkir" party was a usual
PR-Project and after its authors try to close it after its elimination,
the "New Times" party leader Aram Karapetyan said during today's
press-conference in the National press- club. According to him,
a part of "OY", especially, businessmen-deputies, were expressly
involved in the party to assure its entry into the Parliament. Now
the same part swiftly leaves it. A part of politicians, which
tried to deal with politics, remains in the "OY", but it will
remain without money, therefore, "it will hang in the air between
power and opposition". Karapetyan is sure the "OY" leader Arthur
Baghdasaryan fully owes the Armenia's President Robert Kocharyan
his chair, that's why I doubt whether any actions of Baghdasaryan,
including his applications about transfer to opposition, are not
agreed with the President's administration. "A force majeur, being
formed with the coalition split, is advantageous to the authorities,
since it is possible to dissolve the Parliament, if desired and thus,
to win time in the Karabakh conflict settlement. R. Kocharyan and his
administration understand it perfectly and use this possibility", A.
Karapetyan said.
