HAYRIKYAN NEGOTIATES WITH THE PRIME MINISTER

Politics

Today the leader of the Union for National Self–Determination Paruyr Hayrikyan started the process of negotiation with the leader of the RA republican party, Prime-Minister Andranik Margaryan, a person whom Paruyr Hayrikyan himself called and “agent” and accused of various actions.

Is it possible after all this to find edges of negotiations and will Andranik Margaryan agree to negotiate? Being in the stage of negotiations, Paruyr Hayrikyan today allayed his estimations concerning Andranik Margaryan and said, “Andranik Margaryan has been one of the important persons of the National United Party. After some time some people left the party, among those people was Andranik Margaryan who was under pressure”.

Paruyr Hayrikyan wants the 40th anniversary of the National United Party to be celebrated on the government level. “Is there a single party in Armenia which puts a goal before himself and his people and reaches it? The only one was National United Party the aim of which was independence and he reached it. And now whose anniversary should be celebrated if no of that of National United Party”,-says Paruyr Hayrikyan, who founded the Union for National Self–Determination on the bases of the National United Party.

He also noted that there is a considerable difference between the independence of the countries of the former Soviet Union: “Uzbeks became independent because Armenia was in a struggle. We didn’t win our independence the way they did”. According to Paruyr Hayrikyan, this year is also the 15th anniversary of the self-determination of the Armenian nation – the 1991 September referendum of independence. And we cannot celebrate it without remembering the anniversary of the NUP.

Paruyr Hayrikyan expects Andranik Margaryan to start the anniversary events of the NUP anniversary on April 24 which is the day of foundation of the party. He expects that programs about the history of the party, conferences and congresses will take place within the framework of the events. The most important thing for UNSD is to move the ashes of the founder of the NUP Haikaz Khachatryan to the pantheon and to declare him as a national hero. “He was a person who for a long period of time was the inspiration for the independence”, Paruyr Hayrikyan says.

By the way, it is not clear yet if Andranik Margaryan is going to negotiate with Paruyr Hayrikyan.
