    COMMUNISTS TO CONTEST PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS ALONE

    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 24, ARMENPRESS: A top leader of Armenia's Communist
    Party slammed today several opposition parties for launching the
    so-called "anti-criminal movement to fight against the growing role of
    criminal elements in the government and Armenia's politics.' Ruben
    Torosian, the chairman of the Communist Party of Armenia, described
    this movement as 'pre-election empty talk." Speaking to reporters at
    a news conference Torosian argued that before going into offensive on
    the criminals a political force should first of all weigh its strength,
    capacities and resources to make sure it is able to do so.

    'To fight against criminals is the direct duty of the government, while
    the duty of the opposition is to keep a close eye on it and criticize
    the government when it moves in the wrong direction," Torosian said.

    He again declined proposals from two other Communist parties to
    join into one, saying his party will contest the 2007 parliamentary
    elections all alone.

    'If we succeed in winning seats in the parliament that will become the
    beginning of the Communist party's big victory,' he said explaining
    that by saying victory the Communists mean restoration of Soviet rule
    in Armenia and 'fraternal' relations with Armenia's neighbors.
