Aram Karapetyan, leader of the "New Times" Party, claims that the
visit of Vyacheslav Ivankov (nicknamed Yaponchik), representative
of the Russian criminal world will be one of the most significant
events in the political life of Armenia. According to some sources,
the visit is anticipated by the end of the week.
It is yet unknown what business the Russian criminal has in our country
but Aram Karapetyan maintains that pre-election groupings in Armenia
will be done in two directions; specification of relations between
authorities and opposition on the one hand and between criminal -
non-criminal groups on the other. Aram Karapetyan urges that criminal
- non-criminal groupings during the pre-election period are more
actual. He doesn't think that there will be any chance of fair and
just elections. "The administrative livers are still in the hands of
the officials, and electronic media are still under control." By the
way, it is noteworthy that none of the above-mentioned media, that's
to say TV channels, was interested in the meeting with the leader
of "New Times" and didn't come to cover his press conference. In
comparison with them, Russian newspapers, especially "Nezavisimaya
Gazeta," which published Karapetyan's article, are greatly interested
in Aram Karapetyan. The advertisement of the article was published
on the first page of the newspaper. It reads, "Moscow is no more
interested in Kocharyan. The relations of the two countries are on
the verge of collapse."
Today the leader of the "New Times" Party claimed that the contents
of the advertisements has nothing to do with his article. He also
added that he gave no money to the newspaper for his article.
Asked the question what the opposition will do during the pre-election
period taking into account the specification of criminal - non-criminal
relations, Aram Karapetyan answered that the representatives of
the opposition will unite during the pre-election period under the
following motto, "We say no to criminal elements in political sphere."
By the way, Mr. Karapetyan is convinced that there is some discord
among our high-rank officials as well.
"The division of administrative livers has already started, and
Serge Sargsyan is displeased with it. All those who ignore the God,
have a rather unhappy end."
