WILL “NATIONAL RENAISSANCE” PARTY SPLIT?

Politics

All problems concerning the “National Renaissance” party will be solved during the plenary session by the end of the year. Albert Bazeyan, chair of the party’s political council informed about it today. Reflecting on his resignation, he informed that if there was anyone who was ready to take up the responsibility, he would resign his commission. “But nobody wants to take up the responsibility”, he said.

He complained why members of the party contacted with him through media instead of ratifying an agenda and convening a session. He pointed out that two-three members of the council made unrealizable proposals but did not point any ways for their realization. Their incredible proposals concern political activity.

Albert Bazeyan announced that he wanted to freeze his membership in the “Republican” party, but Simon Grigoryan and other members of the council insisted on withdrawing from the party and founding a new one.

Bazeyan explained them that they would find enough support to found a party and to convene sessions only and that financial support would not be enough for carrying out political activities. Thus, Albert Bazeyan found the best way of being active without spending money – to join the “Armenian Liberal Democratic Party” together with “Alliance” party. According to him, half of the party was against that decision.

“The former RA Minister of Defense Vagharshak Harutyunyan did not sign that announcement, which means that he either did not agree with that or I don’t know”, said Mr Bazeyan. He informed that he only talked to Mr Harutyunyan on the phone and the latter never expressed his position towards the situation.

The other unrealizable suggestion of Simon Grigoryan referred to nominating own candidate during the presidential elections. Bazeyan finds such proposal unreasonable and added: “I will not run for presidency, if Simon Grigoryan wants, let him do so”.

We should notice that 120-year-old programs of the “Armenia Liberal Democratic Party” do not satisfy Bazeyan. When we said that the head of the “Armenia Liberal Democratic Party” informed us that in case of joining the party they should take an oath and accept the programs and regulations of the party, Bazeyan said that he was against it, since if you take an oath, you should be true to that, while one should not take an oath in the political activities.
