Activists protest at the National Assembly Monday against the adoption
of the Russian-Armenian gas deal
BY ARA KHACHATOURIAN
Armenia's ruling Republican Party of Armenia's trampling on the
Armenian Constitution continues without impunity, as party members
pushed forward an agreement in the National Assembly that effectively
sells off Armenia's interests in the gas company and dodges questions
of misappropriation of funds by government agencies.
Despite the parliamentary opposition's strong objections the
controversial Russia-Armenia gas agreement was put to a vote with
only the ruling coalition's Republican Party of Armenia and Country
of Law parties taking part in deliberations and voting.
Opposition forces, among them the Armenian Revolutionary Federation,
called the vote invalid claiming that several parliamentary laws were
ignored during the vote.
"Our nation, our country and our national values are in danger and
the elimination of that danger is a national imperative," said ARF
Western US Central Committee chairman Dr. Viken Hovsepian, in response
to Monday's vote on Russian-Armenian gas deal.
"There are times that nuances and all kinds of explanations become
meaningless and the true crimes are revealed," said Hovsepian.
"Five years ago they [the Armenian government] took us down the path
of the enslaving Armenia-Turkey protocols attempting convince us that
it was a high-level diplomatic maneuvering in the name of Armenia's
national security," said Hovsepian. "Today, they are doing the same
in the name of Russian interests and bow to imperialism."
"Finally the time has come for all of us-every Armenian-to realize
that the struggle against anti-national and irresponsible acts must
be unwavering, uncompromising and complete," said Hovsepian.
The country's national resources and wealth are not the property of
the ruling elite. The people of Armenia and the entire Armenian nation
must hold the government accountable for their self-serving actions.
