ALLIANCE OF AVK AND HRAK IS STILL UNSETTLED

Politics

The alliance of the Armenian Ramkavar Azatakan Party (HRAK), the Alliance Party (DK) and the National Revival (AVK) is still under question, Albert Bazeyan informed A1+. This is determined by some conflicts inside the AVK.

“I have something common with Samvel Babayan. The alliance has been turned down by my proponents for two years,” said Albert Bazeyan.

I have announced many times that I am for the alliance of parties as some parties, like ours, can hardly survive. I have talked to Samvel Babayan on this score but the final word is after the party.

To note, Bazeyan reiterated AVK board member Simon Grigoryan's announcement that he/Bazeyan/ had resigned from the chairman's post in June. “The party is not my objective, it is only a means for me,” he said.

Currently the party has no chairman. The party board and regional organisations have demanded to convene a session to seal the party's fate. The discord is conditioned by the fact that the board members demanded Bazeyan to become agile and enhance activity.

According to the press, Albert Bazeyan, Samvel Babayan and Harutyun Arakelyan are negotiating to strengthen the HRAK through dissolution of the DK and AVK, which implies Albert Bazeyan strives to strengthen the HRAK through liquidation of the AVK. His proponents learned about his intention from the press.

Albert Bazeyan told us that the information does not correspond to the reality and is somewhat distorted. Nevertheless, he didn't exclude the possible alliance. “After solving inner conflicts we shall see whether it is possible or not.”

To A1+'s question whether the AVK Chairman will support RA first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan's nomination, Albert Bazeyan gave a negative answer. “We had some disagreement in 1997 in view of the Karabakh conflict regulation. Today we stick to our stance.”
