Aram Manukyan addresses a question to Rubinyan
Support A1+!"I feel pity that Rubinyan wrote a letter with such contents," the newly-elected chairman of the Pan-Armenian National Movement (HHSh) Aram Manukyan said Wednesday in reply to A1+.
After the recent HHSh congress, Karapet Rubinyan circulated an open letter stating that the elections to the HHSh board had been faked.
"Would Rubinyan write a similar letter, if he were elected HHSh Board member?" Aram Manukyan said and added that Rubinyan could have expressed his complaints and objections during the congress.
To dispel all suspects, Aram Manukyan said that Rubinyan had received 232 votes and needed 30 more to be elected HHSh board member.
Mr. Maunkyan reiterated for several times that no one. including Levon Ter-Petrosyan. had influenced on the results of the election.
Speaking about Levon Ter-Petrosyan's presence in the congress, Aram Manukyan reminded that Ter-Petrosyan was a HHSh member and was to particiapte in the congress like all the other mandated members.
The HHSh Chair also reffered to Levon Ter-Petrosyan's speech on the Nagorno Karabakh confict which angered Karapet Rubinyan.
"Ter-Petrosyan holds the same opinion on the issue which he expressed 12 years ago in his article "War and Peace," Manukyan said.
He is surprised at Rubinyan's discontent as in 1997 Rubinyan fully supported Ter-Petrosyan's stance on the Karabakh issue and even resigned after Ter-Petrosyan's resignation.
"We think that Ter-Petrosyan raised a serious concern, a real alarm during the HHSh congress. We highly assess his boldness to depict the reality in true colours," Manukyan said and noted that only legitimate authorities can resolve the Karabakh conflict.
