YEREVAN. - A recording has appeared within Armenia's political circles,
and this recording has brought some clarity to the recent developments
unfolding around the country's opposition Heritage and Free Democrats
parties, Chorrord Inknishkhanutyun daily reports.
"According to the information leak from the American side, the
American side had a recording of the private talk between [Heritage
leader] Raffi Hovannisian and [Free Democrats leader] Khachatur
Kokobelyan. According to the information leak, Raffi Hovannisian had
said that he has a problem with going to the parliamentary elections
with a new team and that the old team had carried out its tasks. In
his turn, Khachatur Kokobelyan approved this initiative by Hovannisian
noting that the new 'Free Democrats' have new faces and they can
'lease' them to Heritage.
[Also,] An arrangement was made that Hovannisian and Kokobelyan,
as the heavy artillery, will enter the [National Assembly] NA,
subsequently, they will give up [their parliamentary] mandates, in
the lead-up to the [next year's] presidential elections, and engage
in the presidential elections.
As a result, the Americans did not intend to make a presidential
nominee out of [American Armenian] Raffi Hovannisian, and 'the cards
got all mixed up' right here," Chorrord Inknishkhanutyun writes.
