LEADERS OF "ORINATS YERKIR" AND "NATIONAL UNITY" PARTIES BLAME EACH
OTHER FOR RELATIONS WITH SERGE SARGSIAN
Yerevan, May 25.ArmInfo. In the course of the debates over "Shant" TV,
Artur Baghdasarian, leader of "Orinats Yerkir" party, again blamed
Artashes Geghamian, leader of "National Unity" party, saying that he
is carrying out the political orders of Serge Sargsian.
In response, Geghamian suggested Baghdasarian to apply to the court,
blaming him for taking money from Serge Sargsian. Baghdasarian said
that he won't do that, as only God can judge. He grounded his
accusation in cooperation of Geghamian with Sargsian by the fact that
in the elections for prefect of Yerevan's Center community Geghamian
supported the candidate nominated by Sargsian.
Besides, Baghdasarian said that Gagik Kostandian, member of "NU"
party, is the supplier of RA Defense Ministry. He emphasized that, in
the presence of Mher Shahgeldian, Kostandian turned to Mr. Sargsian
with the question whether he has any instructions or not. Baghdasarian
conditioned the behavior of Geghamian and his party members by the
atmosphere of fear ruling in Armenia.
In response, Geghamian said that Kostandian carried out the orders of
RA Defense Ministry, as all the rest of the entrepreneurs refused
to. "Often, he worked with loses, only to secure his employees with
jobs," he said. At the same time, he said that he can't help sharing
the critical viewpoint of Baghdasarian addressed against Serge
Sargsian, who created a clan structure. As for the support of "NU"
party to Gagik Beglarian, head of "Kentron" Yerevan community,
Geghamian said that his party appreciates the quality of the work
more, than this or than official or the persons supporting the
candidate. In response, Baghdasarian continued blaming Geghamian,
saying that "NU" party acts according to the public statements of
Sargsian. "I can't remember any case, when "NU" party supported the
opposition in critical moments," Baghdasarian said.
In response, Geghamian reminded about the April 12 night, 2004, when
the policemen broke up the opposition rally, while Baghdasarian was
watching them out of the window of his cabinet. Baghdasarian answered
that he protected Geghamian and other opposition figures, when the
authorities tried to arrest them.
Afterwards, Baghdasarian said that anyway, he respects some of
Geghamian's allies, as they are normal people. "Just fancy what a
normal person I am, if all of my allies merely adore me," Geghamian
reflected the attack. Baghdasarian said that he didn't mean that
Geghamian is fully insane. "Sometimes You merely fall into agony,"
Baghdasarian explained. In the end of the debates, both political
figures began convincing the TV viewers that they don't have any
unofficial relations with Serge Sargsian. "I had only working
relations with Sargsian," Baghdasarian said. While Geghamian stated
that he had never had any relations with Sargsian. "Though, as
Mr. Baghdasarian said, Sargsian pays me for criticizing him. It's not
quite a normal behavior for a normal person," Geghamian said.
Afterwards, Geghamian remembered that his mother celebrates her 85th
anniversary and congratulated her, adding that he kept his promise by
communicating with Mr. Baghdasarian as with his young brother. In the
end, the political figures shacked each others' hands and bade
farewell to each other.
