At the Hnchak Social Democrat Party convention held today in Yerevan,
former RoA President Levon Ter-Petrosyan lambasted those organizations
in the diaspora that failed to raise their voices in protest after
the events of March 1, 2008.
"Had the diaspora correctly reacted to the fraudulent 2008 presidential
elections, the injustices of March 1 and not continually tolerated
the injustices within the nation, the Armenian authorities wouldn't
be so irresponsible today. On the contrary, there were even groups
in the diaspora that defended and assisted the murderous authorities
in Armenia. And what have they gotten in return? They've gotten that
which they now protest," Mr. Ter-Petrosyan declared.
At the Hnchak Party convention, Mr. Ter-Petrosyan said that he wasn't
calling on the diaspora to meddle in Armenia's internal problems but
that he believed it should make its feelings known on vital issues
of concern in Armenia.
He said that if people do not understand that the absence of official
corruption and the application of the rule of law will allow Armenia to
meet the challenges of the time, then "we will remain a semi-developed
and immature society".
Mr. Ter-Petrosyan declared that the HAK (Armenian National Congress)
would continue to collaborate with the Hnchak Party until all its
objectives have been realized.
