THANKS TO “ARMENIAN NATIONAL MOVEMENT” (ANM) MASS MEETINGS BECAME POPULAR
Support A1+!Today Ararat Zurabyan, Chairman of ANM Board said at “Pastark” Club, “I do not consider the political struggle in Armenia a serious one. As to the election, it will not be fair and equal”. He could not recall any serious political debate neither between his and other political parties nor between Armenia Republican and “Bargavatch Hayastan” (Prosperous Armenia) parties. According to him they are not capable to participate in debates. He also accused Armenian TV companies for not broadcasting debates and the reason is that the latter serves the Government. According to Zurabyan, when ANM refused to participate in election struggle, other parties did not follow their example. However currently he notices a tendency of consolidation particularly after May 12 many parties will join in the fight for freedom including ANM. He also said that thanks to ANM, “Impeachment” Alliance became more popular and the number of people participating in the Alliance meeting drastically increased.
To the question of a journalist presenting A1+ Agency “which party are ANM members going to vote for”, Zurabyan replied that they already have done their choice and there are a few political parties in the political domain they will vote for.
Zurabyan accused the President for arresting the former RoA Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Arzumanyan. As to him this step is aimed at creating an atmosphere of threat in the country. He also mentioned the crucial role of Arzumanyan in democracy building and in election processes in particular and for this reason he was isolated from the political arena.
With regard to yesterday’s incident, Zurabyan said that such a development of events was obvious for him. Referring to Arthur Baghdasaryan’s situation, he added that ANM has occurred in similar situation for already ten years
