ANAHIT BAKHSHYAN WENT TO CHURCH?
Support A1+!The Zharangutiun (Heritage) Party will give its evaluation of the home political developments and the newly-formed four-fold coalition at its upcoming sitting.
“I am not authorized to make declarations until this issue is discussed. I can say one thing for sure; the party is likely to hold a sitting in the nearest future as it’s extremely hard to work in the National assembly, being an opposition of seven and facing the vast majority of the rest of the Parliament”, said the member of the Heritage parliamentary faction, Stepan Safarian. He added that the propositions of the party, even the non-political ones, are confronted by the parliamentary majority in the NA.
Referring to the possible parliamentary boycott, he noted that “there are some tactical and strategic points to be discussed” “I don’t want to exclude anything. Still we don’t think that a boycott will provide great achievements,” he said.
Heritage members are due to meet with the Ago monitoring group delegation on April 1. “At the meeting we shall find out the purpose of their mission and specify what they are going to hear from us,” Mr. Safarian says.
He underscored their announcements and stance of the March 1 events, especially the case of the disputed police car which ran through the bulk of people near the French Embassy. He accused the state authorities, particularly the Office of the Prosecutor General and the state mass media, namely “Haylur” news program, of the distorted information they gave on the testimonies given by him and another Heritage member,” Anahit Bakhshian.
“They say we made some statements, which we then rejected. There were no ungrounded “statements”, it was a legal inquiry”, said Mr. Safarian.
“To crown it all, “Haylur” presented the examination of Anahit Bakhshian as a “confession”. She didn’t go to church to make confessions, nor did she commit a crime”, he noted.
“I don’t know whether that’s just the restrained situation or there is a tendency to denigrate our party”, he added.
