Dashnaktsutyun Party neither blames nor justifies Hakob Hakobyan,
arrested on October 8 in connection with the case of hooliganism.
Vahan Hovhannesyan, member of the party's bureau and NA deputy Speaker,
claims that "they have nothing against Hakob Hakobyan." But if by
Hakobyan's arrest, the law enforcing bodies want to prove that all
are equal before the law, he find it admissible.
Vahan Hovhannesyan expressed his regret that prior to Hakobyan's
arrest many people who breached the law avoided punishment. But in
case such incidents continue, things will become still worse. "If we
have forgiven one of our brothers, let's forgive this one too."
Vahan Hovhannesyan qualifies the assault on Suren Abrahamyan,
ex Ineterior Minister, "terrible." Asked what he thinks of Suren
Abrahamyan's suspect that the assault was ordered by Prime Minister
Andranik Margaryan, Mr. Hovhannnesyan said he wasn't on the scene
and he cannot say anything definitely.
By the way, regardless of the fact that criminal elements have become
more active recently, Mr. Hovhannesyan doesn't share the opinion that
the "authorities have lost the control, the situation becomes tense
in pre-election period and "criminal elements violate laws."
VAHAN HOVHANNESYAN NOTICES ALL THE DEPUTIES "PRESSING THE BUTTONS"
Whose candidacy will Vahan Hovhannesyan support in the 2008
presidential elections if the candidates running for presidency are
Serge Sargsyan and Vartan Oskanian.
Before answering this question, Vahan Hovhannesyan deliberately asked
for a cup of water, and then repeated his words that Dashnaktsutyun
will have its own candidate in the elections. "Besides, it is too early
to speak of the elections," added the member of the Dashnaktsutyun
Bureau.
Today, Vahan Hovhannnesyan claimed that he is well aware of the
deputies "pressing the buttons," meaning the NA deputies voting for
others. Vahan Hovhannesyan offers his solution to this problem; the
voting mechanism must be technically innovated, the voting must last
three hours so that each deputy could come and vote.
GEORGIANS ARE OFFENDED While speaking of the Russian-Georgian
relations, Vahan Hovhannesyan states that the Russian-Georgian
relations have a long historical background. He claims that unlike
Armenians, Georgians are on better terms with Russians, despite the
similarities in our religious belief.
In his words, Georgia tries its best to exile Russia from the
Caucasus, which won't be beneficial for Armenians. Armenia must have
a determined stance towards Russia and Georgia. As for Armenia's
position on Karabakh conflict, Vahan Hovhannesyan says, it is high
time we gave up moderate attitude and exerted pressure on Azerbaijan
which generates aggression.
