KOCHARYAN IS FREE

Politics

The “Armenian Revolutionary Federation – Dashnaktsutyun” is against the monopoly in the economic field. Dashnks fear that after the parliamentary elections the danger of monopolization will refer not only to the economy but also to the politics. This is the reason that the ARF participates in the elections with its own candidate.

Besides, the ARF has always argued the Government programs during the last 9 years, even when the party was the part of coalition. He considers that the budget growth and the economic development allow implementing much social mechanisms.

“We observe necessity of serious changes. We are for vital changes, but under stable conditions”, declared Vahan Hovhannisyan. To the question of “A1+” whom he considered his main opponent (for example, the First President’s main target is the authorities’ candidate), Vahan Hovhannisyan did not reply, he only mentioned that he would fight for positive changes in the country. Reflecting on the necessity of forming the third pole, Vahan Hovhannisyan reminded that no third pole exited in the nature, then noticed that the fight had already begun between two poles, then registered that the third power was already formed.

Vahan Hovhannisyan knows what he will do in case he is elected, for example, he is certain that he can stop the growth of price, eradicate election frauds completely, solve the problems with tax and customs bodies etc. Although some members of the ARF complain of the level of their parliamentary partners who represent the “Republican Party of Armenia”, Vahan Hovhannisyan imagines their collaboration perfectly. In case being elected, vahan Hovhannisyan imagines his collaboration with Serge Sargsyan in the post of the Prime Minister wonderfully. Vahan Hovhannisyan highly estimates team work, but considers that a voter gives his vote to a concrete candidate not to a team, but if necessity they are ready to announce their shady cabinet. As how Mr Hovhannisyan refers to the fact that Robert Kocharyan has worked with the ARF for 9 years, but today he protects the candidate of the “Republican Party of Armenia”, Vahan Hochannisyan said: “Robert Kocharyan is free and has the right to support anyone”.

Vahan Hovhannisyan was annoyed by the question regarding the criminal case by which he was detained and which has not been quashed yet. How is he going to present Armenia in abroad in this case? “I do not care whether this case is quashed or not. If you are interested, you may ask the Prosecutor’s Office. Maybe they have forgotten about it? You may remind them of it”, advised Vahan Hovhannisyan. He pointed out that he had presented Armenia well until today, but the question regarding the criminal case did not bother his partners in Turkey or Azerbaijan as much as it bothered the Armenian journalists.
