Politics

The RA First President Levon Ter-Petrosyan visited the Museum after Karen Demirchyan housed in premises of the “People's Party” (HZhK). He got acquainted with the details of Karen Demirchyan’a life and activities. The First President was mainly interested in Karen Demirchyan’s youth. “As I have been with him since 1974 I am aware of all his steps”, said Levon Ter-Petrosyan. Seeing Karen Demirchyan’s diaries, the First President noticed that Mr Demirchyan was more diligent than he, since he has never kept a diary or taken any notes.

One of the rooms of the Museum was furnished as Karen Demirchyan’s study and Ter-Petrosyan noticed Demirchyan’s writing-table there. “I have also sat at this table in the Central Committee”, he said. Then he remembered the story of a map and advised to search and find, pointing out where we could find it. “It was the relief map of Great Hajk. It was my favorite map. When I moved to the President’s Residence I took the map with me”, said Ter-Petrosyan. At the end he promised to present the books with his signature to the Museum. He wrote in the scrap-book: “To the inextinguishable memory of Karen Demirchyan for the historical input in the Armenian history’s existence and continuation with deep assessment and frank gratitude, Levon Ter-Petrosyan”.

Rima Demirchyan presented the First President one of the nominal published books with obsidian cover and wood sheath. After visiting the Museum, Levon Ter-Petrosyan met the members of the “People's Party”. “The members of the party are interested in the issues that interest each citizen, especially those who feel the menacing danger,- said press secretary of the “People's Party” Ruzan Khachatryan,- Particularly, we underlined that we were for forming legitimate authorities and the paths to the formation of such authorities are more important than the problem of establishing the authorities. Ter-Petrosyan completely agreed with us. We were pleased to hear the viewpoint that the primary issue of the next legitimate president would be the discovery of 27 October crime. I agree and share the approach of the First President who considers that no progress is possible without the reveal of 27 October crime”.

HZHK actors, who participated in the parliamentary elections, presented the problems that the functioning authorities may cause during the elections. “We pointed out that we needed to communicate with the nation actively, taking into account the absence of independent on-line mass media and their aggressive behavior, since many questions should be elucidated. Ter-Petrosyan stated that he would answer to all questions very soon” said Ruzan Khachatryan.

According to her, the members of the “People’s Party” advised Ter-Petrosyan to hold the next gathering as soon as possible, taking into account the anti-propagating activities of the authorities. As to the authorities’ announcements that Levon Ter-Petrosyan speculated 27 October tragedy, Ruzan Khachatryan said: “If they allow themselves to say that Aram Sargsyan and Stepan Demirchyan speculate 27 October incidents, what else can we say? But it is not a secret that 27 October brought and kept them and everything is said by this”.

By the way, Ter-Petrosyan paid a particular attention to Edgar Arakelyan, who had heat on a policeman’s head with a plastic bottle at 12 April night in 2004 and was sentenced to 1.5 years of imprisonment.
