YEREVAN, DECEMBER 17, NOYAN TAPAN. In the opinion of Alvard Petrosian,
a writer, a member of the RA National Assembly ARFD faction, the most
gladdening event of 2008 is Armenian chess men's national team's
victory in the olympiad. However, as she mentioned at the December
17 press conference, it should not be an occasion of swaggering for
the Armenians: the Armenian people should distinguish swaggering from
national dignity. Touching upon the problem of people arrested within
the framework of the March 1 criminal case at journalists's request,
A. Petrosian stated that no one can wish imprisoned people to be
in prisons. "However, we should not run to other extremes, either,
thinking that those in prisons are angels and are sentenced in spite
of being innocent," she added.
According to the ARFD deputy, she does not see sympathy for
the imprisoned people in Levon Ter-Petrosian's team and in him
personally. According to A. Petrosian, if L. Ter-Petrosian felt pity
and compassion for those people and their families, he would make
a compromise with the authorities. In response to the question of
whether she considers the imprisoned people political prisoners the
ARFD figure said that the court will find out that. Touching upon
the talks about President Serzh Sargsyan's announcing an amnesty,
A. Petrosian stated that the President should not be constantly made
to make compromises: he has already granted an amnesty to three people.
Joking with journalists and in response to their question of whom
she sees as a Snow Maiden at the New Year party to be held at NA,
Alvard Petrosian said: "Me."
