Except ARF "Dashnaktiutyun", all the opposition forces give the
impression that they want to topple the power in Armenia, the head of
the Heritage parliamentary faction, Ruben Hakopyan, said at today's
press-conference.
He said that pretending to be Raffi Hovannisian's supporters, actually
the opposition forces were acting against "Barev" movement. He also
added that the leader of the ANC party, Levon Ter-Petrosyan, is the
first which made split in the opposition, as those his supporters,
which were supporting the "Barev" movement, were not invited to the
founding congress of his party just for this reason.
He said that the founding congress of ANC voiced an open praise to
Gagik Tsarukyan and rumors about Raffi Hovannisian. Commenting on
Levon Ter-Petrosyan's remarks against Heritage party, Hakobyan said
Armenia's first president cannot forgive Raffi Hovannisian the April
9 actions with no victims or bloodshed. "Levon Ter-Petrosyan's speech
is an absolute manifestation of cynicism. Now he is a dissenter in
the ranks of the opposition," Hakobyan said.
During the ANC congress, Ter-Petrosyan commented on not joining
Heritage Party leader's movement. "I should have joined to do what?
Should I have joined so I could pray with Police Chief Vladimir
Gasparyan? That was not my childhood dream," he said. "The 10 victims
of the 1 March 2008 events were not evidently dreaming to die for the
man who left the people at the crucial moment...And if Mr Ter-Petrosyan
cannot forgive Hovannisian for no bloodshed on 9 April, that is his
problem", - he said.
