YEREVAN, MAY 4, NOYAN TAPAN. The speech of the first president Levon
Ter-Petrosian at the 2nd congress of the National Movement in Yerevan
on May 2 was deeply analytical," Vardan Khachatrian - member of the
National Assembly "Heritage" facion, political secretary of Heritage
Party - expressed an opinion at the May 4 briefing. "I think one
of the most important points of the speech was that in fact, the
movement leader did not reject dialog with the current authorities,
and, nevertheless, the moral standard that they may engage in dialog
only after the release of those imprisoned was put in the basis of
such a dialog," the deputy said.
V. Khachatrian declared that at the same time he shares the criticism
leveled at European structures by L. Ter-Petrosian. In his words,
he was surprised at the fact the presidential election in Armenia
was observed by the PACE mission headed by John Prescott, a person
representing the UK's political power wing. According to the deputy,
J. Prescott is "acussed in connection with rigging at the last three
elections in the UK," and as a result of it, "a trial is underway
in Europe". "I was greatly surprised that it was to some extent with
formulation of John Prescott that the final opinion of the European
observer mission on the presidential election in Armenia was stated,"
V. Khachatrian said.
