Communist Leader: We shall never support Raffi Hovannisian
The world has turned upside down; one the one hand, there is the ongoing conflict in the Arab countries, on the other hand, the shameful obscenity and grave economic situation in Europe, Chairman of the Armenian Communist Party Ruben Tovmasyan told reporters on June 25.
In the given situation Armenia must rely on Russia, says the chief communist. "Russia has always been and continues to remain our main strategic ally," he said.
The fact that Russia is selling weapons to Armenia's enemy - Azerbaijan, does not make Ruben Tovmasyan change his opinion about the country.
"Russia is also selling arms to Syria. Similarly, Russia can sell arms to Azerbaijan, yet we should not consider it as an anti-Armenian step," he said.
Regarding the political situation in Armenia, Ruben Tovmasyan said, "A season has started when everyone is silent as they do not know what to say. The cuckoo praises the cock, for the cock praises the cuckoo. They are all looking for praise."
Tovmasyan says his party was the only political force to have given a clear evaluation of all elections held in Armenia and now he announces that the elections were rigged.
The leader of the Communist party says will never unite with Heritage Party Leader Raffi Hovannisian and his calls for the consolidation of opposition forces. Though today Hovannisian does not urge the opposition to unite around him, the communist believes that he will do it sooner or later.
"The Communist Party of Armenia created the Soviet Armenia with sweat and assiduous work. Look out of your windows and say whether you see anything new in your neighbourhood. They have pulverized and sold everything that was created by our party. We shall never second Raffi Hovannisian," Ruben Tovmasyan said in conclusion.
