YEREVAN, JANUARY 21, NOYAN TAPAN. "In the recent years, by endangering
my life at European tribunes, under the pressure of Turk-Azeris, I
have made 21 pro-Armenian speeches, I have been "solo," but no Armenian
newspaper or TV company printed or showed my speeches free of charge,"
Artashes Geghamian, a candidate for presidency, the Chairman of the
National Unity party, stated during the January 21 presentation of
his preelection program. According to him, the day before he visited
poetess Silva Kaputikian's grave and in the moments of being in the
Pantheon felt responsible for the homeland and towards the memory of
great Armenian figures. Whereas, as A. Geghamian stated, some political
forces and, in particular, the Armenian National Movement (ANM)
party and first President Levon Ter-Petrosian wish to "destabilize
the situation in the country and to shed blood in Yerevan streets."
A. Geghamian mentioned that the above mentioned forces, with
participation of "pro-Levon" media, carry out black PR to his party
and, as he predicted, will continue doing it much more actively. "ANM
is inimitable in the respect of slander," he stated adding that
neither the representatives of that party nor the current authorities
are able to dispute with him over the programs.
A. Geghamian thanked the members is the National Unity party for
keeping the party firm and "remaining unshakable" in spite of all
kinds of insults.
