`If They Praise, They Have Found out Something; if They Give Money,
They Have been Promised Something,' an Armenian National Congress

As opposed to the representatives of the ruling party, the opposition
Armenian National Congress is not excited about the visit of Herman
van Rompuy, the President of the European Council, and his meeting
with parliament members yesterday, in particular.
Herman van Rompuy didn't answer in his verbose speech the questions of
the ANC asked in advance. Let us remind that the ANC mentioned the
events of March 1, 2008, in its questions, referred to the reports,
assessments of those events and demands to solve the crime made by
various European institutions and inquired whether the high-ranking
European official was pleased with the current state of implementing
those instructions by the Armenian government, when neither those who
ordered nor those who actually committed that crime had been revealed.
`There was no answer, I think that answers were not given also to the
questions of other parliamentary groups,' Lyudmila Sargsyan, the
leader of the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (SDHP) and a member of
the ANC parliamentary group, said during a conversation with
www.aravot.am.
Our interlocutor assessed the meeting between the European official
and our parliamentarians as a `standard' meeting, during which the
President of the European Council praised the government of the
Republic of Armenia, tried to present the parliamentary election held
in May as a step forward and a progress. `The assessment made by the
President of the European Council of the election, as Europe usually
remarks, raises concerns. If they come back to praising, increase the
money to be given to Armenia for developing democracy by 15 million
after reports of the US Department of State and the PACE, another
European institution, with negative assessments... if they expect such
elections in return for that money, then it is a different issue,' Ms.
Sargsyan says. In her assessment, the continuous and consistent visits
to Armenia recently aim at reaching rapid settlement to the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and gaining unilateral concessions again,
`In September-October, we may have reasons for concern. If they
praise, they have found out something, if they give money, they have
been promised something.'
