Aram Karapetyan, leader of the “New Times” Party, claims that the visit of Vyacheslav Ivankov (nicknamed Yaponchik), representative of the Russian criminal world will be one of the most significant events in the political life of Armenia. According to some sources, the visit is anticipated by the end of the week.

It is yet unknown what business the Russian criminal has in our country but Aram Karapetyan maintains that pre-election groupings in Armenia will be done in two directions; specification of relations between authorities and opposition on the one hand and between criminal – non-criminal groups on the other. Aram Karapetyan urges that criminal – non-criminal groupings during the pre-election period are more actual. He doesn’t think that there will be any chance of fair and just elections. “The administrative livers are still in the hands of the officials, and electronic media are still under control.” By the way, it is noteworthy that none of the above-mentioned media, that’s to say TV channels, was interested in the meeting with the leader of “New Times” and didn’t come to cover his press conference. In comparison with them, Russian newspapers, especially “Nezavisimaya Gazeta,” which published Karapetyan’s article, are greatly interested in Aram Karapetyan. The advertisement of the article was published on the first page of the newspaper. It reads, “Moscow is no more interested in Kocharyan. The relations of the two countries are on the verge of collapse.”

Today the leader of the “New Times” Party claimed that the contents of the advertisements has nothing to do with his article. He also added that he gave no money to the newspaper for his article.

Asked the question what the opposition will do during the pre-election period taking into account the specification of criminal – non-criminal relations, Aram Karapetyan answered that the representatives of the opposition will unite during the pre-election period under the following motto, “We say no to criminal elements in political sphere.”

By the way, Mr. Karapetyan is convinced that there is some discord among our high-rank officials as well. “The division of administrative livers has already started, and Serge Sargsyan is displeased with it. All those who ignore the God, have a rather unhappy end.”
