NO REVOLUTION WITHOUT OUTSIDE FORCE
Support A1+!Independent deputy Manuk Gasparyan appealed to the opposition
Today's guest of the Pakagits club Manuk Gasparyan commented on the inexpediency of launching revolution at the moment. According his predictions made many months ago, Robert Kocharyan will resign from office in 2005 due to the unsettlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Today he says that «in 1997 Robert Kocharryan arrived in Armenia to assume the post of the Prime Minister and several months later he succeeded in pressing Levon Ter-Petrosyan to resign. It proves that he is not a naive official and will not abdicate from his power without pressure».
The independent deputy also advised the opposition forces of all kinds not to launch any revolutionary movements without assistance from outside.
Manuk Gasparyan compared the National Assembly with a ship full with rats and reminded of an old story telling how to drive rats away, “Ten rats should be shut in a dark place without any food. Days later they start eating each other. In the end there is one strongest rat left. It is let out to the deck to eat up the rest.”
When commenting on contender for the next presidential election the deputy stated NA Speaker Arthur Baghdasaryan as the most inappropriate nominee and also excluded Justice Minister David Harutyunyan from the list of candidates.
Manuk Gasparyan also foretold the collapse of the ruling coalition after the elections to the local self-government bodies to be held in October and added even the President will not be able to prevent it.
