    Geghamian Thinks Armenia Is In Danger Of Disappearing From World Map
    By Tatoul Hakobian

    AZG/am
    3 June 04

    Artashes Geghamian said in yesterday's press conference that Armenia is
    in danger of disappearing from the world map. He stated that the topic
    for the June 4 opposition rally will be "How to Save Armenia?" While at
    present he will leave for Gegharkunik marz to meet with his electorate.

    Simon Amirkhanian and Razmik Ktjoyan, members of National Unity party,
    were arrested in this marz recently, as, according to Geghamian,
    they informed the people about the envisaged meeting. He reminded
    once more that the items, including documents, equipments (computers,
    video cassettes, scientific researches) taken away from the office
    of the party about a month ago haven't been returned yet.

    The leader of National Unity said that Armenia, particularly, the
    borderline villages of the republic are losing their dwellers. He also
    complained that TV channels "unfortunately don't take an interview
    from him". "Unfortunately, Tigran Karapetian (meaning Director of ALM
    TV) hasn't invited me for 7-8 months," Geghamian said. He reminded
    that he will not begin trade with the authorities expecting to get a
    post, even the one of Yerevan's Mayor. "I was the Mayor 15 years ago,
    when they (perhaps, meaning Robert Kocharian and Serge Sargisian)
    were serving to I don't know whom," he said. Geghamian is an extreme
    optimist and doesn't suspect that a power shift is going to take
    place in Armenia. He said that this year Igor Ivanov, RF Secretary
    of Security Council, will visit Armenia. (Geghamian meant the recent
    events in Georgia, when in November on the very day of Ivanov's visit
    to Georgia Shevardnadze resigned. Afterwards, Ivanov visited Batumi
    and escorted Aslan Abashidze to Moscow).
