“LEVON TER-PETROSSIAN DID NOT DISMISS DEMIRCHIAN”
Support A1+!Today People's Party (HZhK) Leader Stepan Demirchian dispelled the rumors that Ter-Petrossian had dismissed Demirchian.
“Karen Demirchian resigned office in 1988 according to his application,” he said.
“And where was Levon Ter-Petrossian in the May of 1988?” he asked a rhetorical question.
In 1991, during Ter-Petrossian’s office, Karen Demirchian became the director of “ArmElectro” factory.
Demirchian did not foil the Karabakh movement and official Moscow accused him of nationalism. Michael Gorbochov was eager to dismiss Karen Demirchian and the heads of other countries. He didn’t head the movement either and preferred to leave the political domain.
It was possible to avoid bloodshed thanks to Demirchian, the HZhK leader said.
“The members of Karabakh Committee were taken into custody after Demirchian’s resignation,” former Yerevan Mayor Vahagn Khachatrian reminded A1+.
“Just on the very first day of my office Demirchian called me and gave sound advice. Thanks to Demirchian we have achieved what we set out to do. He became a mediator between Armenia and Georgia and the countries established fruitful partnership,” Vahagn Khachatrian said.
“Demirchian did not sit down with his hands crossed after resignation. Many turned to him for reasonable advice and help.”
“The authorities fear that one day the oppositional forces might unite. Therefore they have frequent nervous breakdowns,” the former mayor said.
