REVOLUTION DISCOVERED?

Politics

“I have discovered the basis of revolution”, announced Hrant Khachatryan, chairman of the “Constitutional Right Union” (CRU). In his viewpoint, revolution is the occupation of the president’s post by Hayk Babukhanyan. According to Hrant Khachatryan, Babukhanyan was not only the author of scenario of the revolution but also its perpetrator; the authors of scenario were also Arthur Baghdasaryan, Artashes Geghamyan and Samvel Babayan.

“The “Orinats Yerkir” party was in the basis of the revolution. Arthur Baghdasaryan was the NA Chairman when he intended to have 100 percent guarantees for 2008 elections, that the CRU and “Iravunk” newspaper would protect his candidature as an opposition representative. Then the “National Unity” party and the “Block” would continue the attempt of carrying out revolution in a different way. Arthur Baghdasaryan stopped supporting the newspapers first, while the “National Unity” party and the “Block” continued that till the parliamentary elections, supporting Babukhanyan in the NA elections”, said Hrant Khachatryan. “I have discovered the objectives and mechanisms of the revolution. An end should be put to this so that we will be able to operate freely and reestablish the party”.

Hrant Khachatryan’s discovery is of political character, but what legal outcomes it may have, is hard to say. “This is proved by a number of public statements and is not defamation”, said CRU chairman.

Hrant Khachatryan also informed that he would not run for presidency. “We negotiate with all parties in the political field. We supported the “Heritage” party and “People's Party of Armenia” during the parliamentary elections. As to the presidential elections, we have not made a decision yet”, said Hrant Khachartyan .

Khachatryan has set up new standards for assessing the parties. According to him, opposition or democratic parties are those, which carry out democratic mechanisms within the parties. “If a party wins in the elections, then it will build a country like the party”.

Commenting on Hrant Khachatryan’s accusations, the press secretariat of the “Orinats Yerkir” party considered them “unreasonable”.
