Y EREVAN, MAY 27, NOYAN TAPAN. Everybody is responsible for the strained
atmosphere in the country in recent period, ARF Bureau member Hrant
Margarian said at the May 27 press conference. "We did our best to
prevent the confrontation. Unfortunatelly, it happened, but we are not
trying to make it a subject of political speculation because it was a
misfortune for our statehood and nation," H. Margarian added. In his
opinion, one way to get out of the current situation is Armenian
intellectuals' impartial assessment of recent events. "We need to
create a moral climate in which every person will feel responsible for
his attitide and behavior," he noted. Describing today's atmpsphere, he
said that a group of aggressive press ready to sqabble has formed.
H. Margarian expressed an opinion that what has happened in Armenia
recently is an Armenian National Movement (ANM) rather than a popular
movement. "Every force, organizaton, even person permitted itself to
speak on behalf of the people. However, if a person uses the word
"people", it does not mean that his direction is popular," he pointed
out.
He considered dialog as an important step for forming a culture of
political struggle. "Some already noticeable practical steps should
become more real, with more favorable conditions for a dialog to be
created," H. Margarian said.
Responding to a question, the ARF Bureau member said that they served
as a support for neither Robert Kocharian nor Serge Sargsian. "The ARF
has its direction and it cooperates with the authorities based on its
convictions and requirements," H. Margarian stated, adding that the ARF
may become a support for the people and statehood.
