"The year 2008 was written as a bloody and black page in Armenia's
modern history," Garnik Margarian, the Chairman of the Homeland and
Honor party, stated. According to him, "the things that happened on
February 19 and March 1-2 do not fit into any political and moral
limit." During the December 18 meeting with journalists he considered
inadmissible that Armenia's problems are solved at international
structures.
"Are we so short-witted that the Europeans should solve our problems?,"
G. Margarian said.
According to his estimation, first RA President Levon Ter-Petrosian
is the only person, who can give a solution to the problems faced by
the country.
According to him, after the disgraceful presidential elections of
2003 no conscious, capable, and fearless political figure appeared
in the opposition sphere, and L. Ter-Petrosian dared lay that heavy
burden on his shoulders.
Besides, according to G. Margarian, a political movement took place
in the country with first President's return, in consequence of
which the people rose. "A flash of hope and light woke up in the
people, as some political figures were money-lenders, with one hand
in Serzh-Robert's pocket and with the other they wanted to present the
people with a monument to justice," G. Margarian said adding that they
will continue working and leading to the end the business they started.
Touching upon the Nagorno Karabakh settlement, G. Margarian said
that illegitimate presidential elections were held twice in Armenia,
and Europe closed its eyes on it. However, according to him, the
illegitimate authorities are not able to successfully solve national
issues.
Speaking about the trial on the "case of the seven" G. Margarian
said that it was told at the PACE Monitoring Committee on December
17 that there are not sufficient grounds to accuse them and to
consider them criminals. "As a lawyer I can say that it is a forged
case. Seven hostages are kept to put out the political movement,"
G. Margarian said.
