YEREVAN, JUNE 4, NOYAN TAPAN. "The whole responsibility of depriving
Hakobian David of the mandate at Yerevan Council of Elders institution
before the God and the people lays on the robber leaders of the
Armenian National Movement party." David Hakobian, the Chairman of the
Marxist Party of Armenia, a member of the Armenian National Congress
(ANC), stated at the June 4 press conference. According to him,
ANC's renouncing its 13 mandates and not using them for the purpose
of strengthening the opposition is an "absolute political idiocy."
Therefore, according to D. Hakobian, if ANC leaders decide that he
can work in the Council of Elders as the only oppositionist and move
them from proportional list's 22th place to one of the first passing
13 places, he will work. In response to the question of what he will
do unless ANC gives him a possibility to be included in the Council
of Elders, D. Hakobian repeated that his being deprived of a mandate
will "lay on ANC's conscience."
According to D. Hakobian's estimation, the May 31 elections were the
slaughter of Armenian civilization and democracy, and the "dirty,
stinking mechanisms" used by the Republican Party of Armenia during
the election campaign made the elections an "Asian bazaar." "RPA
members with their barbarity surpassed their forefather, the Armenian
National Movement party," the marxist said.
Speaking about granting an amnesty to those arrested on the March 1
case, D. Hakobian said that it is though retarded, yet a necessary
step. According to him, the RA President should have granted an
amnesty as far back as on the day of his inauguration, on 2008 April
9. D. Hakobian added that in general, it is not foreign forces that
should persuade the President to grant an amnesty, as it is only the
mission of the country head.
